Fast track your career as a social impact consultant!

This is an entry-level fellowship designed for current undergraduate and graduate students, recent graduates, and individuals transitioning from their academic studies into the next phase of their professional journey. 

The program is intended for those seeking to build foundational skills and gain practical experience; it is not designed for individuals who are several years into their careers or have already established extensive professional experience in a particular field. The Social Impact Fellow supports consultants across client engagements and internal initiatives in a fast-paced, execution-driven environment. The Social Impact Fellow supports consultants across client engagements and internal initiatives in a fast-paced, execution-driven environment.

 

At FCS, each client engagement is structured as a client account. Fellows are staffed directly onto these accounts and are expected to contribute meaningfully to the work.

• Each fellow is assigned a minimum of 1 client account

• Fellows may be assigned up to 2 client accounts maximum

What the Role Actually Looks Like:

The FCS Fellowship is not a traditional internship centered on administrative or clerical tasks. Fellows are integrated into the firm's day-to-day operations, staffed directly onto 1-2 client accounts, and contribute to strategy development, campaign concepts, client deliverables, and execution. Fellows work alongside consultants and strategists and are expected to actively engage, think critically, contribute ideas, and take ownership of assignments.

 

Your experience will include three types of weekly meetings:

• Internal Client Meetings: Meetings with FCS team members assigned to your client accounts to discuss priorities, project updates, deadlines, deliverables, and next steps.

• Internal Client Work Sessions: Collaborative working sessions focused on brainstorming, research, developing ideas, preparing materials, refining recommendations, and advancing projects.

• External Client Meetings & Syncs: Meetings with clients and, when applicable, their partners and stakeholders to discuss project updates, strategic recommendations, campaign planning, feedback, and decisions.

​

Outside of meetings, Fellows independently complete assignments and deliverables during their scheduled working hours. This may include conducting research, drafting materials, preparing presentations, monitoring developments, supporting outreach, and helping move projects from strategy to execution.

 

Fellows are contributors, not observers. You are expected to understand how your individual assignments connect to broader client objectives and contribute meaningfully to the team's work.
