About Us
Consult Your Community (CYC) is a registered national 501(c)(3) nonprofit that inspires communities into action.
At Cornell's chapter, we mobilize college students to leverage their education, digital fluency, mentorship networks, and knowledge as customers to empower small business owners and drive change in Ithaca.
Our team engages in semester-long, skills-based projects, where students work hands-on in close groups to craft effective and impactful strategic recommendations for our clients with pro-bono service.
