Organizations
Nonprofits and small businesses in and around Knoxville with a real question and someone who can meet with our team each week.
Pro bono for nonprofits. A founding rate for small businesses.
Why we exist
Most nonprofits and small businesses in Knoxville will never hire a consulting firm. Most students never work on a real problem before they graduate. VCG puts the two in the same room.
Who we are
A student-run consulting group. Small teams of University of Tennessee undergraduates take on one question for one organization, and stay with it until the answer is something the client can use.

What we work on
Every engagement starts with one question. These are the kinds we take on.
Who we take
Students
Any major and any year. We look for people who write clearly, are comfortable with numbers, and finish what they start.
Spring 2027 applications open in January.
Leadership
VCG is student-run. Every engagement has a project lead who is the client’s single point of contact.
