ABOUT

Consult Your Community is a nationwide, student-run nonprofit organization that empowers America’s top undergraduate students to leverage their knowledge of business with their passion for service. Students engage with low-income and minority-owned small businesses over the course of a semester through an innovative program in which they are trained to provide business owners with comprehensive, pro bono consulting services (teams are advised by business school faculty, graduate student mentors, and experienced professionals from top-tier consulting firms. Through this process, students gain hands-on business experience and develop skills that prepare them for their future careers, while business owners become empowered to foster their own economic independence and secure their future prosperity, both of which contribute directly to our nation’s economic development and long-term sustainability.

Consult Your Community was founded in February 2013 by a group of undergraduates from the Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley. Since our organization’s founding we have rapidly grown into a national organization: hundreds of students are working to launch 15 chapters in Fall 2013 at America’s top universities, including Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Columbia, UVA, UNC, Notre Dame, Tulane, and Michigan.
