I’m a college student studying data science. I’m interning at Deloitte currently is to become a data science consultant for non-profits. I don’t know if this is a role that even exists, let alone how I would start down that path. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!!

We do quite a bit of work with non-profits, McKinsey do as well. Less data heavy though from the projects I've seen.

If you want to be a data scientist then don't do consulting and find a job where you will be actually building on a day to day to hone up your skills. What your looking for probably doesn't exist no non-profit will ever be able to afford consultants. You could easily do pro bono type work and make your own niche consulting on the side or maybe a little more broad corporate route would be ESG consulting.

Yeah, my hope would be to make my own niche rather than working through a large consulting firm.
