General / Multidisciplinary Volunteer

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.

GlowUp ACS (Remote | Flexible Schedule)

Who We Are

GlowUp ACS is a newly formed 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to supporting college students who struggle to access traditional internships due to a lack of prior experience. We create structured, supportive opportunities that focus primarily on education, training, and professional skill-building—helping students gain confidence and real-world exposure.

Although we are newly incorporated as a nonprofit, we have successfully run volunteer and internship-style programs in previous years and are now expanding under our official nonprofit status.

What We Do

Our programs are designed around what students actually need

• Hands-on exposure to tools and workflows
• Training and guided learning (not just “work”)
• Resume, cover letter, portfolio, and LinkedIn support
• A flexible, human-centered environment that understands real life

Education and training are the core of everything we do.

Who This Role Is For

This role is intentionally open-ended. We welcome volunteers of all backgrounds and skill levels. Many people don’t realize their skills are relevant until they join us — and we love discovering unexpected strengths.

You might be a great fit if you have experience (or interest) in

• Administrative or organizational support
• Creative work (design, writing, media, content)
• Technology or digital tools
• Mentorship or guidance
• Operations, planning, or coordination
• Or something entirely different

If you’re unsure whether your skills apply — that’s okay. We’ll help figure it out together.

Schedule & Flexibility

We are fully remote and highly flexible. Volunteers typically contribute during our active hours (roughly 6 00 AM – 8 00 PM ET), but when and how often you participate is up to you. Volunteers come and go according to their own schedules, and we are very accommodating of shifting availability.

What You’ll Gain

Volunteers who stay involved with us receive support similar to what we offer interns, including

• Resume and cover letter feedback
• LinkedIn and portfolio guidance
• Professional development support
• Meaningful experience within a growing nonprofit

Some volunteers may also choose to explore deeper involvement over time, including leadership or board pathways.

Remote Technology Requirement

Because we operate almost entirely remotely, volunteers must have

• A working computer or laptop
• A microphone and webcam
• The ability to download basic apps or use browser-based tools (such as Slack or Notion)

We are actively working toward future laptop donations and grants, but at this time, we cannot support volunteers with unreliable or nonfunctional computers.

If you’re looking for a flexible, supportive volunteer experience that genuinely invests in people — we’d love to hear from you.
