OUR STAFFING
We pair all clients with a passionate team of 3-5 consultants that is led by one of our experienced members. This team will work with you throughout the semester to break down, analyze, and provide actionable solutions to one of your organization's selected focus areas.
OUR TIMELINE
Projects typically last over the course of a semester or about 10-12 weeks. Throughout this time, our consultants will be immersed in the behind-the-scenes of your non-profit. This allows us to provide you with the most feasible recommendation plan personalized to your organization. At the conclusion of the project, we provide all clients with a final report that consists of an organizational breakdown, analysis, and evidence-based implementation plan which is carried out by the organization. In some instances, we do offer implementation services for select clients.
