In the UC Berkeley chapter, we promote a diverse and inclusive environment where everyone is accepted for who they are. Our members come from a wide variety of academic backgrounds and disciplines, but we are all united by a common passion for social impact. Through various events and activities, we hope to support each and every one of our members in their own individuals journeys to grow personally and professionally.
Two Paths
Consultant
As a consultant, you will be assigned to work collaboratively on a strategic advisory or research project in a team of 3-6 consultants led by a Project Manager. These projects typically span 10 weeks and will involve a midterm and final deliverable. Consultants will take ownership of a work stream assigned by their project managers and be able to apply critical research and analysis skills throughout the project. This is a great opportunity to make a great impact on the many NGOs that we work with!
Fellow
As a fellow, you will be working on a research based project, including writing you own article with the guidance of the Chapter Editor and a team of other fellows. Fellows will learn to apply a highly analytical and consultant mindset to their writing and research techniques. You will be exposed to the GRC community and critically engage with articulate social impact subject matter. If you are seeking to build your portfolio, writing skills, and community, becoming a fellow is a fantastic opportunity.
