Growing Future Leaders Sophomore Internship Program

BCG is committed to growing and supporting top talent from groups currently underrepresented in executive ranks, boards of directors, and in consulting: Blacks/African Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, and Native Americans/Alaska Natives. As part of this commitment, BCG created the Growing Future Leaders Sophomore Internship Program. This program aims to identify, support, develop, and retain students from these groups, preparing them to become leaders in consulting and the global business community.

Program Overview

Our Growing Future Leaders (GFL) Sophomore Internship Program provides a highly select group of Black/African American, Hispanic/Latino and Native American/Alaska Native sophomores the opportunity to experience BCG’s work and culture in one of our US offices. In this time, you will be paired with a mentor, participate in training and development programs, and work as a member of a BCG team. Upon successful completion of the GFL Internship Program, individuals are eligible for a junior-year internship offer.
