CEO, First Descents

Alex Accetta, EdD, has spent his career exploring one enduring question: how do we help young adults find belonging and counter the loneliness that can keep them from fully engaging in their lives? As CEO of First Descents, Alex helps young adults impacted by cancer and MS find community through adventure, nature, trauma-informed peer connection, and whole-person well-being.
