Volunteer Consulting Organization

The Volunteer Consulting Organization has a dual mission:

• To create lasting social impact in the Boston area by providing under-funded (typically non-profit) social service organizations affordable and sound business advice; and
• To foster an appreciation for and provide an introduction to the traditional management consulting experience to Harvard Business School first-year students

Students form teams of 3-5 to complete a consulting project for a local non-profit organization. Students have the opportunity to meet the participating non-profits at the annual client fair in mid-October, and teams are paired with organizations through a mutual application process later that month. Projects start immediately, and typically wrap up around mid-May.
