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.

Responsibilities

  • Design user-friendly website and app interfaces using tools like Figma, Adobe XD, or similar.
  • Improve existing UX flows, site navigation, and user journeys.
  • Conduct basic usability testing and turn feedback into actionable improvements.
  • Create wireframes, mockups, and low-to-mid fidelity prototypes.
  • Collaborate with developers and content leads to align design with implementation.

What You’ll Need

  • Some experience with UX/UI tools such as Figma, Adobe XD, or Sketch.
  • A portfolio, class project, or sample that shows your design thinking.
  • Strong communication skills and a proactive, problem-solving mindset.
  • Reliable computer/laptop, stable Wi-Fi, and a webcam/microphone for meetings.

What You’ll Gain

  • Hands-on nonprofit UX/UI experience for your resume, LinkedIn, and portfolio.
  • Experience supporting user research, usability testing, wireframes, mockups, prototypes, and improvements to real digital experiences.
  • 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.
  • A reference reflecting your contributions, where earned.
  • Opportunities to take on greater responsibility as you grow with the organization.
  • A welcoming, inclusive, mission-driven remote team.

If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you. Grow with GlowUp ACS!
