SuitUp is dedicated to bringing equal opportunities to students all across the country and world. SuitUp's model to take the talent and resources of companies and pair them with the bright young minds of our students to come up with solutions to challenging and thought-provoking business case is truly one of a kind. It allows our students to think differently and be exposed to a breadth of career paths and opportunities they might not otherwise have. It also inspires our volunteers and companies to the passion of our next generation and challenges them to further involve themselves in positively impacting their community. The passion behind the staff, CLB board, volunteers and our students is truly impressive and a one of a kind opportunity!
I interned at SuitUp when I was in college and have been involved with the board ever since (6 years now). The business competitions are such a fun and rewarding experience for both the corporate volunteers we work with and the students. It is always so much fun watching the students faces light up when they start pitching their creative products in front of the judges and realize there is a cash prize on the line! If your company, school, or you personally are looking to volunteer in a unique way that actually has an impact on the next generations of leaders, definitely work with SuitUp. The team makes it incredibly easy to schedule
(you truly don't have to lift a finger) and they are so engaging throughout the process.
I was first introduced to SuitUp when I attended the annual gala, and was quickly blown away by the incredible work they were doing to support underserved students and provide a pathway to careers in the corporate world. Expanding the horizons of students around the world and introducing them to the possibilities of jobs after they graduate, is a mission we as adults should all have. SuitUp has figured out a way to make the learning process a fun, educational, and rewarding experience for the students.
After volunteering for in-person corporate competitions and virtual events, I knew I wanted to be a part of this incredible team working so hard to advance students from all around the world. I soon after joined the SuitUp board and am proud to be serving my third term with the best leaders in the nonprofit space. Participating in SuitUp competitions and working with the students firsthand has been so rewarding and impactful. I can't wait to see how many more students SuitUp is able to support as they continue to grow and expand!
As a board member at SuitUp Incorporated, my experience has been overwhelmingly positive. I am continuously inspired by the dedicated, passionate individuals that make up this remarkable team. Their commitment to empowering students through experiential learning is evident in their tireless efforts, and the effect they have on the communities they serve is truly transformative. Their mission transcends traditional education, forging invaluable connections between students, schools, and businesses. Witnessing their impact firsthand, I am privileged to be part of such a vibrant, mission-driven organization.
SuitUp is a great organization. They truly live every moment focused on their mission. The experience of one SuitUp event will change your perspective for how youth can be supported to broaden their vision for their own future.
SuitUp is such an incredible volunteer experience!! I highly recommend it for all your team building volunteer days!
SuitUp is a great organization with even greater staff. They are dedicated to their mission of supporting the youth in career readiness. The events are so impactful and make many students want to come back for more! Working there is a pleasure, and the culture they have crafted is phenomenal.
SuitUp is one of the most powerful non-profits I’ve ever experienced. It teaches students around the world about life outside of the classroom. I’ve participated in many of their events - from in-person corporate events to virtual COVID events to their signature Battle of the Boroughs. Every time I’m amazed with the students’ ideas, desire to learn and appreciation for the experience. In one instance, a student approached me after a competition and told me that he wasn’t going to initially come today for a variety of personal reasons, but decided to show up. He then went on to say that the experience totally changed his perspective on what is possible. He was unsure and nervous about the world after the classroom. He said the competition helped him realize that business is accessible … that he can use his math skills to help perform financial work for his favorite company, Nike. He was truly amazed at all of the professionals, who took their time to teach him about unit economics, income statements, marketing strategy, and many other concepts. My wish is that more students will share in this powerful experience as our students are our leaders of tomorrow. Together we can make the world a better place and I believe part of that starts with SuitUp.
SuitUp is an INCREDIBLE non-profit organization that does amazing work. Every person who has been involved with the organization has walked away with a positive experience. This is a testament to the work that is being done at Suit Up and the specatacular people who make up the Suit Up Family!
SuitUp is an amazing Opportunity for both volunteers and students- I started out volunteering and have now moved onto the Board because I fell in love with the mission. The volunteer events are so thoughtful and well run. I felt so inspired after working with my group of students and seeing their amazing ideas come to life. Watching their minds run wild with possibilities of what they can be and watching their confidence grow after presenting to leaders, was worth every minute. The more these events can happen, the better our future generations will be.
SuitUp is an amazing organization. I've volunteered with them and saw firsthand how many students they empower. They're making such a positive impact. I can't recommend SuitUp enough!
I got introduced to SuitUp through my company's volunteering event. I had such an amazing time volunteering with the kids and getting to know the chaperons/teachers who helped with the activities. Watching the kids learn so much throughout the event was not only rewarding, but also informative. I learned so much from them. Can't wait to be apart of the next event :)
It's been such a pleasure interning at an organization with such an incredible mission and focus. The staff are motivated, inspiring, and some of the most hard-working people!!
I met this non-profit through my employer back in 2021 and had the best time volunteering at a competition. They partner with students from disadvantaged backgrounds to help coach them on professional skills and empower them to ideate about a professional career. I’ve since remained engaged and now volunteer on the corporate leadership board. Can’t recommend enough spending a morning or afternoon on a competition with your employer and colleagues volunteering at a SuitUp competition.
I was introduced to SuitUp in 2019 through one of their in person business competitions and LOVED it. The SuitUp team makes it a BREEZE for corporate partners to show up (no prep work needed) and make a real impact with students. Because of this, I brought SuitUp competitions to my current company, where we were able to do a hybrid event, which provided the same incredible experience for both our corporate team and the students participating. Watching these students come up with a new idea, or crush a business pitch is such a joy to witness, and keeps me and my team coming back to SuitUp year after year. Can't wait for our next SuitUp competition!
I first was introduced to SuitUp by volunteering through my company, and was truly moved by watching students grow and think big. Through presenting, working in teams, and being introduced to new career possibilities, I observed sparks of inspiration on the faces of these young students - who undoubtedly will become the business and tech leaders of the future. I continue to stay involved with SuitUp as a corporate leadership board member, and look forward to expanding our mission of career readiness to more students across the country!
I found SuitUp from an old co-worker of mine who was on the founding board. Initially I was introduced through the annual Suit Up for SuitUp Gala.
After a couple years of attending the gala I decided to join the Corporate Leadership Board. Working on the board has been an incredible experience. Would highly recommend working with SuitUp!
SuitUp is an amazing non-profit that supports students by providing events centered around career and college readiness! I have loved my volunteering experiences with them, and would highly recommend SuitUp to anybody or company looking to make an impact!
When my company partnered with SuitUp last year, I had the incredible experience of being one of the coaches. It remains one of my most memorable days at work and I’m SO looking forward to participating with this fantastic organization again this fall!
This summer I worked at SuitUp as my first internship and it was an absolutely phenomenal experience. The organization is incredibly intentional in the way that they function and work to ensure that they don’t creep away from their mission. They do everything within their power to guarantee the best experience for everyone both within and outside of the organization. This summer, they listened to my needs from day one and helped me figure out how I serve best and put me in a place where I could shine and serve our students!
I am a college student who participated in a business competition as a coach/judge and I loved it! It was an engaging and impactful volunteer experience that allowed me to directly see how the work of SuitUp helps students. SuitUp took care of the logistics and made the experience very easy!
Volunteered an event and it was truly amazing how engaged the students were at all times. This is a credit to the excellent facilitators who designed this fun exercise & provided structure to seamlessly move the day along
Absolutely hardworking team that cares so much about its community. A great organization to support and get involved with.
SuitUp has a wonderful mission that is dedicated to supporting young entrepreneurs! Bringing students to corporate partners to give them a business day in the life with a case study is an impactful way for students to learn about industries, network, and give them an idea for what they want their future career to look like.
Hi! I was introduced to suitup through my organization, WeWork. My entire team was so impressed by the event Suitup put together. They do great work to prepare students for their career and more so, do everything in required for the event. My team was extremely engaged and it really brought our employees together. I would highly recommend working with suitup especially to boost collaboration amongst your team.
I got introduced to SuitUp through a company event and I love it so much that I joined their corporate leadership board. It’s such a great organization making a huge impact in various communities.
SuitUp’s competitions are top-notch - so much fun and incredibly impactful. Highly recommend partnering with SuitUp or volunteering as a coach!
SuitUp is an incredible organization! I am constantly impressed by the leadership team and their commitment to providing career readiness opportunities for students from all backgrounds. So proud to have had the opportunity to volunteer multiple times and see how impactful the business competitions can be.
I started as a coach for students in the height of the pandemic, and it was a blast! Watching the kids come out of their shells and go from nothing to a winning Shark Tank pitch was nothing short of inspirational. And it was fun for the coaches too!
One volunteer event and I was hooked!!! There is no better way to support our future leaders than to give them some of their first opportunity and experience being a leader... Such a worthy cause, and great way to give back...
I love SuitUp, I feel like through SuitUp I’m making a real difference in an area that deserves way more attention. It’s amazing to watch students and corporate volunteers interact.
I have been a coach for SuitUp twice and each time has been beyond rewarding. My company (Meta) partnered with our agency teams (PHD Media) to work with students two years in a row around a competition for Black History Month and how different global brands that Meta + PHD serve can highlight Black History Month in a creative way and reach new audiences. It was inspiring seeing how the students came together to form such creative, thoughtful, and educational campaigns. Watching the students delegate tasks, brainstorm ideas, make engaging pitches, and speak to their campaigns confidently was so rewarding and inspiring - as a coach and as a representative who serves these clients. This is now an event that our companies look forward to yearly and recommend all companies who want to see how their contributions and experiences can impact students positively and immediately.
