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 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on providing college students—especially those who lack experience and face barriers to internships—with their first real-world training. We believe in empowering students through hands-on experience and skill development.

Our Remote Nature (and Tech Note)

We’re a fully remote organization, so having a reliable computer is important. You’ll need a computer or laptop that can handle virtual tools like Slack and Notion. While we hope to provide equipment down the line, this is a current requirement.

Who We're Looking For

We’re looking for Community or Education board members who can help us build strong relationships with local schools, universities, and community groups. Your insights will help us tailor our programs to meet community needs and ensure our mission has a lasting impact.

Why Join Us

By joining our board, you’ll become part of an inspiring and dedicated team working to create real opportunities for students. Your involvement will ensure our programs are deeply rooted in the community and truly effective. We can’t wait to have you with us!
