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.

LOOK FOR
UNLOCK YOUR SOCIAL IMPACT

– Nat Ware (Founder & CEO)

We work to bridge disparities in the areas we operate, by fostering a well rounded community.
