August Ball

Director of Midwest Organizing at Alliance for Climate Emergency

August is the founder and CEO of Cream City Conservation. She joined ACE in August of 2018 when she was looking for an organization to partner with to provide earth stewardship opportunities to Milwaukee youth that were not related to direct service to public lands like her conservation program.
