Are you a builder who likes creating things from scratch—and improving what already exists? As our IT Intern, you’ll help shape the digital backbone of GlowUp ACS: our website, our connected tools, and the internal systems our team relies on every day. You’ll get hands-on experience with modern web and no-code/low-code platforms while learning how to design efficient, well-documented systems from the ground up.
From building pages and fixing bugs to evaluating new integrations, you’ll see how the technical side of a nonprofit actually runs—and your work will directly support how we deliver programs and serve our community.
About GlowUp ACS — GlowUp ACS is a New Jersey–based 501(c)(3) nonprofit working to close the “experience paradox”: the catch-22 where entry-level roles require experience that early-career talent hasn’t yet had the chance to build. As an Associate Intern, you’ll contribute to real, meaningful work on live projects. This is an unpaid role, and we follow all applicable U.S. and university guidelines for unpaid internships; documentation to support college credit is available upon request. We value self-starters who communicate openly and thrive in a flexible, collaborative, fully remote environment.
Responsibilities
- Help design, build, and maintain websites and landing pages using tools such as WordPress, Shopify, Wix, HTML/CSS, and React-based frameworks.
- Connect and configure tools like Notion and third-party plugins to streamline internal workflows.
- Optimize and maintain internal dashboards, portals, and client-facing sites.
- Document workflows, troubleshoot bugs, and make minor updates as needed.
- Test new features and help evaluate third-party integrations.
What You’ll Need
- Familiarity with at least one of HTML/CSS, React.js, or Next.js—or a strong interest in learning, with guidance provided.
- Comfort navigating no-code/low-code platforms like WordPress, Wix, or Shopify.
- Curiosity about designing technical systems and workflow tools.
- Strong communication and documentation habits.
- Reliable computer/laptop with sufficient storage, stable Wi-Fi, and a webcam/microphone for meetings.
What You’ll Gain
- The official Associate Intern title for your resume and LinkedIn.
- Hands-on experience on real projects you can add to your portfolio.
- Mentorship and feedback, with access to professional development resources as capacity allows.
- Eligibility for optional college credit where your school offers it, with documentation provided on request.
- A reference reflecting your contributions, where earned, and the potential to grow into a Fellowship or title-earning role over time.
- A welcoming, inclusive, mission-driven remote team.
If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you. Come grow with GlowUp ACS!
