Many capable people face the “experience paradox”: employers want experience, but gaining it often depends on someone giving you a first opportunity. GlowUp ACS is a nonprofit that helps emerging professionals bridge that gap through meaningful, hands-on opportunities to develop practical skills, contribute to real projects, and gain experience they can apply throughout their careers.

We’re currently rebuilding after funding changes required us to scale back some of our programming. That makes this a unique time to join GlowUp ACS. Associate Interns can contribute directly to the systems, projects, and programs supporting our next stage of growth while gaining firsthand experience working within a small nonprofit where their contributions can have a visible impact.

• Create icons and visual assets using tools like Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.
• Contribute to creative brainstorms and concept development.
• Edit, adapt, and repurpose existing templates and brand assets.
• Help maintain visual consistency across projects.

What You’ll Need

• Access to design tools such as Adobe Creative Suite and/or Canva.
• A portfolio or samples of previous design work (available upon request).
• Strong communication skills and a proactive, problem-solving mindset.
• Reliable computer/laptop with sufficient storage, stable Wi-Fi, and a webcam/microphone.

What You’ll Gain

• Hands-on nonprofit graphic design experience for your resume, LinkedIn, and portfolio.
• Experience creating branded visuals, digital assets, campaign graphics, and adapted design materials for real projects.
• Mentorship and feedback, with access to professional development resources as capacity allows.
• Optional college credit where your school offers it, with documentation provided on request.
