In the [[United States]], the '''Alternative Service Program''' is a form of [[alternative service]] for [[conscientious objector]]s within its [[Selective Service System]].

The Alternative Service Program is intended to encourage those called under Selective Service the option of working to improve national well-being as an alternative to bearing arms. Typical period of service is meant to mirror the duration of conscription, usually 24 months.<ref>{{Cite web |title=National Alternative Service Program |url=https://www.sss.gov/register/alternative-service/ |access-date=2023-02-20 |website=Selective Service System |language=en}}</ref>
