General Board

In today’s job market, even entry-level roles increasingly require prior training and experience—yet few employers are willing or able to teach on the job. Many students are caught in a paradox to get a job, you’re expected to have already had one. GlowUp ACS exists to close that gap.

GlowUp ACS is a nonprofit workforce development organization focused on preparing students and early-career professionals for professional environments through hands-on training programs and structured internships. Our programs are designed to simulate real workplace expectations, combining mentorship, skills development, and real-world project experience so participants are not entering the workforce unprepared.

We primarily serve college students, recent graduates, and individuals from underrepresented or nontraditional backgrounds who need practical experience—not just credentials—to compete in today’s hiring landscape. Through project-based learning, participants build marketable skills, professional portfolios, and the confidence required to navigate modern, often remote-first workplaces.

At our core, we value accessibility, equity, and learning by doing. We believe workforce training should be intentional, rigorous, and aligned with real industry needs. By pairing student talent with real organizational projects, GlowUp ACS supports both community partners and emerging professionals—creating meaningful pathways from education to employment.

Who We Are

GlowUp ACS is a newly formed 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to empowering college students who face barriers to work opportunities due to a lack of experience. We provide them with their first real-world training, helping them gain skills and confidence for the future.

Our Remote Nature (and Tech Note)

We operate entirely remotely, so having a reliable computer is essential. While we hope to provide equipment in the future through donations or grants, right now we ask that board members have a computer or laptop capable of running apps or using browser tools like Slack and Notion. We’ll provide all the necessary training—no worries there!
