Non-Profit Fellowships
Oliver Wyman's Non-Profit Fellowship Program enables junior consulting staff members to take time off from their consulting careers to make a dedicated personal contribution to a non-profit organization. (Read more about Oliver Wyman's Non-Profit Fellowship Program.)
While some choose to work in the field in a developing country and others to
provide much-needed strategic support at a non-profit's headquarters, participating consultants report similar results: immeasurable personal growth, new professional skills, and an unforgettable experience.

About Oliver Wyman's Non-Profit Fellowship Program
Through Oliver Wyman's Non-Profit Fellowship Program, junior consulting staff members have the opportunity to take time off from their consulting roles to work full-time at a non-profit organization. Fellows typically work for a non-profit for three to six months while receiving a stipend equal to 40 percent of their salary from Oliver Wyman for the duration of the fellowship.
Oliver Wyman has developed fellowship relationships with a number of non-profit organizations. Our formal arrangement with Kiva dedicates Oliver Wyman consulting staff to support the organization's growth and expansion. Consultants may also propose non-profit they want to work with for the program.
Participants in our Non-Profit Fellowship Program have worked at or served as field volunteers for such organizations as Acumen Fund, Boston Children's Hospital, Center for Effective Philanthropy, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Clinton Foundation, Computer Clubhouse at the Boston Museum of Science, Endeavor, Kiva, Teach For India, Nature Conservancy, Oxfam India, Seeds of Peace, TechnoServe, and Urban Prep Academies.
