Specific Ways To Engage
Social Enterprise Consulting
We believe that poverty is a personal problem for everyone, and the purpose of the Social Enterprise Consulting (SEc) group is to provide concrete opportunities for students to leverage their individual strengths and skill sets in order to positively contribute to a proactive solution. The SEc matches students with social enterprises with real strategic, development, human capital, or operational needs, trains them on how to be responsible partners, and supports them throughout their consulting engagement.

Project Pyramid
Project Pyramid, a Vanderbilt University organization, creates a community that addresses issues of poverty in an interdisciplinary classroom and through sustained partnerships with local and international organizations. Partner organizations collaborate with students throughout the semester, and students visit the organization over spring break. Organizations determine the scope of the project before the consultants are assigned, ensuring that the results will be relevant and useful. Partnership with Project Pyramid provides fresh insight, data-driven analysis, and actionable recommendations.
Immersion Treks
TFC Immersion Treks are student-led experiential learning trips with interdisciplinary groups of Vanderbilt graduate students. The goal of these experiences is to connect students with a variety of cross-sector approaches to social entrepreneurship in different cities. Join or host an Immersion Trek to engage with peers, alumni, professionals, and organizations creating market-based solutions for social impact!

The TFC Summer Fellowships program matches students and organizations based on studies, experience, and goals, allowing students to gain valuable work experience and organizations to gain access to top students.
