Since, January 2011, the American Cultures Engaged Scholars (ACES) Program has collaborated with over 50 community partners to offer students opportunities to learn about histories of oppression, racism and social justice in the U.S., by engaging with community organizations and experts on these very issues as part of their AC class and the university's public mission.
The ACES program appreciates the varied experience made possible by the participation of Community Partners, as differences among our Community Partners is what makes possible such diverse opportunities for our students. Please note that as a program of the University of California, Berkeley, the ACES program is committed to the University’s non-discriminatory policies. Consequently, Community Partners with whom the ACES program affiliates must similarly provide their services/benefits to UC Berkeley students in a non-discriminatory manner.\
If you are a community organization and are interested in partnering with the ACES program, please contact us at aces@berkeley.edu.

Responsive Research
In fall 2014, we had the opportunity to visit community partner organizations with a film crew to capture the essence of the collaborative efforts that make up the American Cultures Engaged Scholarship (ACES) program. In four corners of the Bay area, which included the Building Block for Kids Collaborative in Richmond, the East Oakland Youth Development Center (EOYDC), the National Center for Lesbian Rights (NCLR), and Peralta Hacienda Historical Park, we conducted interviews that explored the ways in which the community and campus connect and produce responsive research that benefit all.
