WHO WE ARE

Vanderbilt Students Consulting for Nonprofit Organizations (SCNO) is a student run organization committed to providing high-quality and professional pro-bono consulting services for nonprofit organizations and social enterprises in the Nashville community. Through year-long engagements, our SCNO teams collaborate with nonprofits to achieve the necessary goals of our clients.

DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION

We know that our differences make us stronger. SCNO believes that equity, access, and inclusion not only lead to greater innovation and capability, but are foundational to the well-being of both our members and the clients we serve. We are dedicated to cultivating a diverse, equitable, and inclusive organization that supports and uplifts our talented student body and the greater Nashville community.

Vanderbilt SCNO coordinates Student & Senior Consultants from all years and all academic disciplines, ranging from Economics to English, from Engineering to the Life Sciences. Our multidisciplinary teams enhance the depth and breadth of our project engagements, leading to creative, implementable, & high-impact solutions.

Professional Development

SCNO provides professional development that is unparalleled to other campus consulting organizations. Through workshops and hands-on, real-project experience, SCNO equips our consultants with the skills necessary to succeed in internships and careers in any field. Members are exposed to plentiful mentorship opportunities through SCNO’s leadership structure and coffee chats.

SCNO’s extensive alumni network, comprised of students from Vanderbilt and other chapters, also serves as a tool for members. Alumni are always happy to share their knowledge and advice with current SCNO students.

SOCIAL IMPACT

Our work is 100% pro bono: SCNO does not charge our client partners any fees. Our hope is that SCNO can facilitate a mutually beneficial relationship in which our talented teams can collaborate with nonprofits while gaining exposure to the social impact space.

SCNO members also get to know our clients better, bond as an organization, and directly give back to the community through volunteer work.
