What is unique about your community?

We are representatives of the ACE community at the national level (think of us as dignitaries living in an embassy) in the city that politically sets the standard for the planet.

Provide a brief description of Washington D.C.:

Washington, DC is an amazing city – people from all over the country (and the world) coming together to live and work in our nation’s capital.

What do you like most about Washington D.C.?

Aside from being the heart of government for the United States and home to some of the most amazing museums and monuments in the world, DC has a great, vibrant community of young people who are all committed to making a difference. You simply cannot beat that. We also have the best ACEAdvocates group in the country! Not to mention the Cherry Blossom Festival, the Metro and go-go music.
