VOLUNTEERS SERVE IN ENVIRONMENTAL PROJECTS IN NATIONAL PARKS, FORESTS, WILDLIFE REFUGES, WILDERNESS AREAS AND OTHER PUBLIC LANDS WHILE LEARNING CONSERVATION AND LEADERSHIP ROLES. ACE IS GROUNDED IN THE PHILOSOPHY THAT COOPERATIVE LABOR ON MEANINGFUL CONSERVATION PROJECTS FOSTERS CROSS-CULTURAL UNDERSTANDING AND OPERATES ON THE BELIEF THAT CHALLENGING VOLUNTEER SERVICE UNITES PEOPLE OF ALL BACKGROUNDS IN COMMON CAUSE. ACE PERFORMS CONSERVATION PROJECTS THROUGH CONTRACTS WITH VARIOUS AGENCIES INCLUDING THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE, UNITED STATES FOREST SERVICE, AND BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT. THE TWO LARGEST ACE PROGRAMS INCLUDE THE CONSERVATION CORPS AND THE EMERGING PROFESSIONALS IN CONSERVATION. 1. CONSERVATION CORPS PROGRAM - ORIGINALLY FORMED UNDER THE CONSERVATION CORPS MODEL, ACE PROVIDES A RANGE OF VOLUNTARY SERVICE PROGRAMS PARTICIPANTS. ACES CONSERVATION CORPS PROGRAM IS FOR AMERCIAN PARTICIPANTS, AGED 18-30 (up TO AGE 35 FOR VETERANS) WHO ARE CONSIDERING LAND MANAGEMENT AS A CAREER PATH OR POTENTIAL COURSE OF STUDY. CORPS MEMBERS SERVE IN PROFESSIONALLY SUPERVISED TEAMS AS THEY EXPLORE FUTURE OUTDOOR CAREERS, LEARN PRACTICAL SKILLS, AND DEVELOP CONFIDENCE AS EMERGING LEADERS IN THE FIELD OF CONSERVATION. CORPS MEMBERS ARE SUPPORTED DURING THEIR 3-12 MONTH SERVICE TERMS WITH COST OF LIVING ALLOWANCES, FOOD ON PROJECTS, AND FREE COMMON HOUSING ON OFF DAYS. 2. EMERGING PROFESSIONALS IN CONSERVATION PROGRAM (EPIC) - ACE EPIC Internships and Fellowships program provide young adults ages 18-30 (up to age 35 for veterans) with focused, hands-on opportunities to work alongside and under the guidance of land management agency mentors as they apply their knowledge of resource management on their path to becoming the next generation of resource and land managers. The EPIC program not only provides an invaluable step for those seeking a link between the academic and professional worlds but also allows members to explore, connect, and preserve America's natural and cultural resources as they gain professional skills and cultivate their careers in the resource management field. EPIC operates in coalition with partners such as the National Park Service, the Bureau of Land Management, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the U.S. Forest Service, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and other conservation focused groups. Positions available through EPIC and its partners are spread across a wide range of specialized conservation oriented vocations and typically last 3-12 months. EPIC members (interns) often have degrees and /or experience in disciplines such as, but limited to: conservation or wildlife biology, botany, ecology, entomology, forestry, geography, archeology, paleontology, geology, environmental sciences, recreation or natural resources management, or cultural resources. 40029262 true false false false false false false false false false true false false true true false true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 44 0 true 1858 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 9 9 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA X X X LAURA CRAIG 9282266960 2900 N Fort Valley Rd Flagstaff AZ 86001 Laura Herrin CEO 45.00 0.00 X 212061 0 0 Laura Craig COO 45.00 0.00 X 185296 0 0 Christopher Jackson CEAP 40.00 0.00 X 138972 0 0 Jennifer Layman CPO 45.00 0.00 X 123255 0 0 George Grygar COS 40.00 0.00 X 115929 0 0 Crystal Simons Divison Director 40.00 0.00 108339 0 0 Christpoher Binder Divison Director 40.00 0.00 105870 0 0 Colin Giegerich Senior Director of 40.00 0.00 100283 0 0 Robert Coates VICE CHAIR 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Trevor Pearson Secretary 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Shayne Miller Treasurer 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Scott Springer Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tony Lopez Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kate Sutcliffe Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jeanne Wade Evans Chairman 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Sarah Miggins Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Katie Shea Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 1090005 8 false true false 0 44471221 44471221 0 10367 10367 0 0 55257 55257 55257 55257 177057 152602 24455 24455 24455 0 0 0 MISCELLANEOUS INCOME 92032 92032 92032 44653332 116487 65624 0 0 0 0 1090005 985147 104858 0 29035155 26257026 2778129 0 1858648 1672783 185865 2483815 2235433 248382 0 0 0 0 0 0 520911 41310 479601 68950 16216 52734 0 0 0 2656047 2618072 37975 1252386 1076258 176128 0 0 118451 64426 54025 0 426546 401980 24566 708078 480129 227949 SUPPLIES 1723567 1716051 7516 EQUIP REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE 1187880 1162707 25173 CREW MEALS 659478 659478 DUES AND FEES 357097 260077 97020 432094 382169 49925 44579108 40029262 4549846 0 815501 1660354 0 5836029 5535888 0 0 0 300903 289812 0 125921 155834 5002603 2397884 2698624 2604719 0 0 0 0 527686 848682 10304664 11095289 1320025 365479 26428 57747 890234 2592500 2268006 2984407 X 8036658 8110882 8036658 8110882 10304664 11095289 74224 X false true X true true true X 20380077 26934143 30851570 39589893 44471221 162226904 0 84063 39938 192483 328161 147289 791934 0 0 20464140 26974081 31044053 39918054 44618510 163018838 0 0 163018838 135 20470 22993 12301 10367 66266 0 135 20470 22993 12301 10367 66266 0 1055612 24455 1080067 20464275 26994551 31067046 40985967 44653332 164165171 0.99300 0.99210 0.00040 0.00040 X 627215 627215 1759075 666179 1092896 422572 183355 239217 590189 545329 44860 1603552 1003021 600531 2604719 CONSTRUCTION-IN-PROGRESS 848682 848682 ACCRUED PAYROLL & RELATED 1272243 FINANCED LEASES 703517 LOC 330930 REFUNDABLE DEPOSITS 285810 2592500 44653332 44653332 44653332 44579108 44579108 44579108 X X true false false false false false false false false Laura Craig COO 185296 185296 Laura Herrin CEO 212061 212061 Part III, Additional Information COLIN GIEGERICH RECEIVED SEVERANCE PAY OF $22,674.
