Our Team

we are students with varied backgrounds, interests, and perspectives across all undergraduate years

OUR MISSION

The Berkeley Group is a community of change-makers working to provide tangible and sustainable business advice to local social sector organizations. We believe that nonprofit success is the foundation for creating fundamental social change, thereby improving the realities for all members of society.

OUR STORY

The Berkeley Group was founded in 2003 by four UC Berkeley juniors in Professor Alan Ross’s course “The Social, Political, and Ethical Environment of Business,” at the Haas School of Business. Our founding members saw an opportunity to improve our local community by applying the undergraduate professional consulting model to innovative social sector organizations. Along the way, they built a long standing culture of professional and personal growth for members to form genuine and lifelong bonds. Today, our alumni network has members spread across the United States and all over the world.

The Berkeley Group is the first social sector professional consulting organization and the second oldest consulting organization established on the UC Berkeley campus.
