The Harvard Griffin GSAS Volunteer Consulting Group (HGVCG) combines the enthusiasm and analytical skills of HGCC’s community of graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and career professionals to bring solutions and ideas to organizations in the Greater Boston area. The VCG serves two purposes: 1) to provide pro-bono consulting to real-world clients and 2) to expose graduate, post-doctoral, and career professionals to an intense and hands-on experience in management consulting.

​​

Founded in 2008, the VCG has worked with a range of organizations, from start-ups to established organizations, from non-profit to private. VCG’s past clients include the Global Deeds Foundation, Settlements and Solutions, Beacon VP, TalentCastr, Massachusetts Department of Education, Journal of Visualized Experiments, and Venture Cafe Foundation.

​

In addition to VCG, clients can engage with the HGCC community via the Harvard / MIT Case Competition, a 2-week Summer event harnessing the analytical horsepower of graduate students and researchers from Harvard and MIT and providing wide-ranging insights and analyses.
