ABOUT STEP UP
Connecting motivated studentswith mission-driven organizations
The traditional opportunity landscape has overlooked high school talent for too long. At Step Up, we're changing that with an AI-powered platform that connects ambitious high school students to meaningful opportunities — internships, volunteering, and more — making the process seamless for both students and organizations.
No more barriers. No more missed connections. Just direct pathways to skills, experience, and growth for students — and a simple way for organizations to reach motivated, diverse, and skilled youth talent.
Step Up empowers every high school student to take their first step into the real world with confidence, while enabling organizations to build their future talent pipelines and make a positive impact.
Our Values
Empathy and Excellence in Action
At Step Up, we believe that true impact comes from a blend of empathy and a drive for excellence. We listen deeply, support each other, and always aim higher—whether we're serving students, partners, or our own team. Our values guide every connection, every opportunity, and every step forward.
