We are a volunteer-driven and community-based organization, in the northern and northwest suburbs of Minneapolis. We are committed to creating access to education, jobs, adequate health, housing, and the means to build wealth and financial assets.

An important fabric of ACER is our community volunteers who give their time, talents, energy and creativity to worthwhile causes to help improve the lives of people in the Twin Cities.
Through our work, ACER works to develop leaders in our community to continue to not only advocate for themselves, but to also take leadership positions in advancing equity in the region.
ACER believes economic vitality and independence is essential to our community. Since 2008, ACER has partnered to provide small business training right here in our community.
ACER understands that when communities understand the civic process, they are more comfortable and likely to participate in the civic engagement process.
