CONSULT YOUR COMMUNITY
AT NC STATE UNIVERSITY
About Us
NC State Chapter
Our chapter was founded in 2016 by Hunter Davis and Tanner Purvis, who saw a need in the Raleigh community. Starting off strong with 25 student consultants, we have since grown to over 80 members and counting. From 4 engagements per semester to now 8 per semester, we have helped over 80 small businesses and non-profits in total and added 36,500+ hours of pro-bono consulting to the Raleigh community.
We are proud to be the first university chapter in North Carolina and the first organization at NC State University to serve our community through student-led pro-bono consulting for small businesses and nonprofit owners.
Consult Your Community Nationals
Consult Your Community (CYC) is a national nonprofit that brings together college students to provide pro bono consulting to minority-owned small business owners in their local communities. Founded at UC Berkeley in 2013, CYC has since expanded to 30+ top universities nationwide.
Through semester-long, skills-based projects, students apply their education and mentorship networks to deliver real-world solutions while gaining hands-on experience. Each year, CYC students contribute over 20,000 hours of consulting to 90+ small businesses, supported by mentors from leading firms and faculty advisors.
