WHAT WE
EXPECT
We are looking for undergraduate students of all majors with a keen interest in social impact. Above all else, we look for commitment and dedication to our organization’s work and mission. That means a willingness to make our organization a priority. Our potential consultants are also team players with a knack for problem-solving.

UNLOCK YOUR SOCIAL IMPACT
“I do not think there is a better value-for-time volunteering experience than being a 180 Degrees Consultant. It hits multiple birds with one stone – work experience, making a difference, and professional training. Why do these things separately when you can do them simultaneously?”
– Nat Ware (Founder & CEO)

DIVERSITYDiversity is at the core of our efforts to gather members from different backgrounds and perspectives to best serve the variety of client sectors we work with. This diversity is seen with the previous experiences of current and future members and their interests as well as the clients with work with in terms of size, sector, and mission. We work to bridge disparities in the areas we operate, by fostering a well rounded community.

Additionally, panels with other organizations, community members, and alumni continue to engage those not directly associated with the organization.
