Our global programs are a means to drive people development, community building and value creation across our global network. We are proud to have empowered students to deliver real, measurable impact for socially conscious organizations while developing core consulting and leadership skills. We would like to share below a snapshot of 3 of 180DC’s Global Programs in 2025.
Global Branch Awards celebrate 180DC’s branches that go above and beyond in developing their people, building community, and leading the way in social impact consulting. Grounded in 180DC’s mission, these awards acknowledge remarkable accomplishments, highlight impactful solutions, and amplify the collective impact of our global network. We received a record-high volume of 85+ applications this year, each demonstrating high impact to clients, students and community. The top six finalists were invited to present their work to senior 180DC leaders. We thank the judging panel for our 2025 edition (from left to right):

180DC Global Case Competition gives an opportunity to students around the world to challenge themselves and make impact at a global scale. It aims to bring together the brightest minds from around the world, challenging them to solve a real-life social problem. We aim to cultivate the next generation of impact-driven leaders by empowering aspiring consultants across the 180DC network to use their expertise and create sustainable solutions for social change. For our 2025 edition, our case partner was Barefoot College International (BCI), a global NGO equipping rurally remote communities with the tools and knowledge to achieve self-sufficient clean energy, educational and economic resource access. This year, we received 130+ teamapplications representing 500+ students across 25+ countries.

What did Barefoot International College (Case partner of 2025) say about us?
“The standards demonstrated by all this work and the presentations were excellent. Much of the content from all of the presentations will be of great use to us. The professionalism, dedication, and demeanor of all involved was exemplary. Many congratulations to everyone who presented. It is somewhat odious to pick winners and losers because of the wide range of useful content, but there were clear overall differences.”
- Hugh Stevenson, President, Barefoot College International Geneva
“180DC's dedication to providing an exceptional and productive experience for BCI was apparent from first to last. They took the time to learn about us deeply and became a true thought partner throughout the engagement. Their recommendations from the Global Case Competition were of excellent quality. As a small organization, we especially appreciated how 180DC went the extra mile in helping us stay organized and on track. This partnership has delivered true long-term value to our organization and to our many beneficiaries we support in the field.”
- Sue Stevenson, Director of Strategic Partnerships and International Development, Barefoot College International
