University of Virginia

Welcome to the 180 Degrees Consulting branch at the University of Virginia (UVA)! As a student-led consulting initiative founded in 2019, our mission is to empower nonprofits and youth organizations to achieve their goals, overcome challenges, and maximize their impact. Through pro-bono consulting, we work closely with local nonprofit organizations to provide innovative strategies and solutions that help them grow. To date, we have partnered with nearly 60 nonprofits in the Charlottesville area, eventually winning the global “Best New Branch in the Americas Region” award from 180 Degrees Consulting. From educational nonprofits to foster organizations and healthcare initiatives, our members remain dedicated to elevating the community. Join us on our journey to empower students and nonprofits!
