Consult Your Community (CYC UMD) is a student-led consulting program that allows students to serve local small businesses and startups through a semester-long consulting project. Clients from the past few years include Javazen, Uber, Wild Kombucha, Aurora Tights and KnoNap.

Students are trained and guided through the process of providing business owners with comprehensive, pro-bono consulting services (teams are advised by leadership team members 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 grow their business. Students also participate in exclusive workshops and networking events from top-tier consulting firms.

CYC has new clients and scopes each semester in the fields such as marketing, finance, operations management, and technology. Previous BAs have accepted internships and full-time offers from Deloitte, PwC, Accenture, Bain, and more. Due to the diverse nature of consulting, ALL majors are encouraged to apply.
