The program administrators were engaged to insure a successful launch of the project and provided ample opportunity to address challenges within the teams assigned to the tasks.

Provided excellent guidance throughout. This helped make the onboarding of my first project easier.

awesome working with the team of skilled individuals

Working with the students was such a positive and enriching experience. Each intern contributed to different aspects of my business, and together they built tailored dashboards that supported my specific needs. They approached their work with so much care, detail, and professionalism, ensuring that everything was both functional and easy to use. What stood out most was how informative they were throughout the process—I learned a great deal from their insights and explanations. Their dedication not only strengthened the quality of the final product but also gave me tools and knowledge I can continue to use moving forward. I only wish my business were at a place where I could afford to hire such great individuals full-time, because their talent and commitment truly made an impact.

My interactions with Christian were always informative, honest and helpful. I would recommend working with him to anyone using AscentUP.

They did a great job following instructions and completing their tasks.

The AscentUP experience was really terrific and the coordinators did a great job.

Excellent outcomes from AscentUp! The learners were very helpful- they were creative and helped me to problem solve and taught me a lot about social media, helped me to update my website, redesign my logo, develop an email campaign with a monthly newsletter, and so much more!

I am looking forward to seeing who will join us for the Marketing Project. Thank you guys for keeping me updated on the process. I was so impressed with the learners chosen for the other project because they all complemented each other perfectly. I am excited to see how the Marketing learners form a great team because I know they will also be perfectly chosen.

The organizers of this project were great! They were communicative and there if needed. Our meetings were informative and they were able to answer any questions. I especially appreciate the check-in half way through the program and once it was almost concluded.

Working with the AscentUP team was an incredible experience. The coordination, structure, and support throughout the project were thoughtful and deeply aligned with our mission. I appreciated the team’s responsiveness, flexibility, and commitment to centering equity and real-world impact. Thank you for making this journey both meaningful and smooth — I’d highly recommend this program to other mission-driven founders.

The students/interns where great. They were engaged and completed all tasks necessary to help the project to be a success

This Internship program was very effective and valuable. In just 6 weeks, we were able to accomplish a lot. The Ascent Up team kept in touch with me and checked on whether I needed support. When I did, they responded quickly and helped make the project successful. I would recommend this program to any organization that has a compact project with specific deliverables that can be accomplished in 6 weeks.

Dear Crystal, Andrea, Felicia, Scott, and Christian, On behalf of the entire World Vitiligo Day team, I want to extend our deepest thanks for your outstanding work and coordination on the revamp of the www.25June.org website.

Crystal, your steady hand and attention to detail kept everything on track like clockwork. Andrea, your leadership at AscentUP is clearly infused with heart and purpose—thank you for believing in the vision of this project. Felicia, your coaching style struck that rare balance of empowering the team while keeping things grounded—pure gold. Scott, your input brought a thoughtful user-centric lens that really helped refine the final product. And Christian, your quiet but steady presence behind the scenes made everything feel just a little smoother, a little easier. Working with your team has been a genuine pleasure. You didn’t just manage a project—you nurtured it. You created a space where innovation, compassion, and practical execution could thrive. The result speaks for itself: a vibrant, modern platform that reflects the spirit and strength of our global vitiligo community. We’re proud to have partnered with you—and grateful beyond words. With heartfelt appreciation, Yan Valle World Vitiligo Day manager
