What We Do
Consult Your Community (CYC) is a national nonprofit consulting organization that inspires communities into actions. Through semester-long, skills-based consulting projects, we mobilize college students to leverage their education, digital fluency, mentorship networks, and knowledge as customers to empower businesses and drive change in their communities.
History
Consult Your Community was founded at UC Berkeley in 2013 after a group of students recognized the need to support struggling local businesses that brought value to their community. Since then, CYC has expanded to 22 chapters nationwide made up of over 350 consultants. Together, CYC chapters around the country have helped over 500 small and local businesses achieve success through semester long, pro-bono consulting engagements.
National Conference
Every year, CYC club members have the opportunity to attend the Consult Your Community National Conference. In 2019, consultants from all CYC chapters convened at North Carolina State University. The conference celebrated CYC’s national success, made plans for its future, and hosted panels and networking opprtunties from industry experts.
