Anytown Alabama
Get ready for Anytown Alabama - June 7-13, 2026! This year, ACE Alabama is excited to partner with the UAB Institute for Human Rights, and Anytown will be hosted on the UAB campus! Campgrounds have served us well for 36 years, but this move offers students access to new resources, including international perspectives of leadership and community building and introduces them to a college setting.
Anytown Alabama will continue to be a week-long leadership summit for students in grades 9-12 (including May 2026 graduates). Delegates will have fun while strengthening their critical thinking and communications skills to enhance their emotional intelligence and ethical leadership. These skills will help them build empowered communities and serve as positive agents of change. Anytown’s safe and structured environment gives teens the space, training, and tools they need to grow personally and professionally into transformational leaders now and into the future.
*Full and partial scholarships are available. We are committed to making sure no student misses this life-changing opportunity. The deadline to apply to Anytown Alabama is March 15, 2026.
Started by the former National Conference for Community and Justice in 1989, Anytown Alabama has a 36-year long history of empowering student delegates as leaders in the community.
