About ACAD

A simple idea with national potential.

ACAD is designed to encourage Americans to come together voluntarily for one focused day of cleanup, restoration, beautification, and local civic action.

Community Cleanup

Organize local efforts to remove litter, clear public areas, improve curb appeal, and restore shared spaces.

Beautification

Plant trees, refresh playgrounds, improve landscaping, add flowers, and make neighborhoods feel cared for again.

Civic Pride

Bring neighbors, families, businesses, and local leaders together around a visible, shared act of service and responsibility.

Founder story

This initiative begins with Katsiaryna Goodman.

ACAD is her vision, her story, and her public effort to bring a meaningful spirit of community action to the United States in a way that reflects American freedom and values.

“

In my home country, there is a tradition of coming together to improve communities. While the system there is different, the spirit behind it—people working together to build something better—is universal. I believe that same spirit belongs here in America.
