GLITCH was founded in May 2010 by two undergraduates who believed that video games matter and sought to build a community of like-minded people. Since 2013, GLITCH has expanded to become a full-fledged nonprofit alongside its student group counterpart with upcoming projects fiscally sponsored by Games for Change; an international non-profit organization that supports games as a critical tool for social impact.
Community is the foundation of our organization and it’s for them that we continue to improve our programming and create opportunities.
We’re looking for passionate, talented and ambitious individuals who take play seriously. Like us, you thrive working in a team environment and are passionate about the unlimited potential that games have to influence our society.
