Chicago
Working hard in the Windy City
ABOUT SEI Chicago
We love our city because it provides our consultants with endless opportunities to engage in creativity, culture, and innovation — which enables us to live fulfilling lives in the Windy City, and empowers us to be better, more capable partners to every client.
Our consultants serve as collaborative coaches and players throughout the duration of the project. We navigate the tides of transformation alongside C-suite executives and frontline employees alike to ensure everyone feels included in the process.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I)
We work hard to build an inclusive culture where individual voices are endorsed, heard, and valued. With transparent business operations and a unique employee ownership model, our consultants are encouraged to create their own paths to help grow and improve our business.
Our DE&I program includes:
- Local and national participation in Diversity & Inclusion Networking Exchange (DINE) events to encourage open dialogue to break down communication barriers
- A 5-fold increase in female consultants since 2018 resulting in 50% female management and 45% female consultants
- Operationalization of efforts to share traditions, history, and perspectives of cultures and identities to broaden perspectives
Through harnessing the collective value created by our team, we can excel at serving our clients, colleagues, and communities — because we know that no matter what the task, we always accomplish more together.

COMMUNITY IMPACT
Red Cross
The American Red Cross prevents and alleviates human suffering in the face of emergencies by mobilizing the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors. We aspire to turn compassion into action so that all people affected by disaster across the country and around the world receive care, shelter and hope; our communities are ready and prepared for disasters; everyone in our country has access to safe, lifesaving blood and blood products; all members of our armed services and their families find support and comfort whenever needed; and in an emergency, there are always trained individuals nearby, ready to use their Red Cross skills to save lives.
Cradles to Crayons
Cradles to Crayons provides children from birth through age 12, living in homeless or low-income situations, with the essential items they need to thrive – at home, at school and at play. We supply these items free of charge by engaging and connecting communities. One day every child will have the essentials they need to feel safe, warm, ready to learn, and valued.
Horizons for Youth
Horizons for Youth is a community committed to helping children recognize and achieve their full potential. In partnership with dedicated families, we provide academic support, one-on-one mentoring, and enrichment programs.
Greater Chicago Food Depository
The Food Depository is part of a united community effort working to bring food, dignity and hope to our Cook County neighbors. We act as the hub for a network of more than 700 food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters and other programs. These programs provide food where it’s most needed. We also address the root causes of hunger. Public benefits outreach and job training programs offer support for our neighbors to overcome poverty.
Vitalant
Vitalant is the nation’s largest independent, nonprofit organization focused exclusively on providing lifesaving blood services. We have a network of about 120 donation centers across the U.S. and host approximately 60,000 blood drives annually. Vitalant provides blood and special services to patients in about 900 hospitals across the U.S. – millions of people depend on blood donations from our generous volunteer donors.
Pilsen Food Pantry
The Pilsen Food Pantry aims to improve health and social outcomes through the distribution of fresh, culturally appropriate foods, via sponsorship of community events, and by organizing seasonal clothing and supply drives. The Pilsen Food Pantry started in 2018 and has distributed nearly 3,000,000 pounds of food and household supplies to over 50,000 visitors since opening.
Volunteers of America
Through our hundreds of human service programs, including housing and healthcare, Volunteers of America touches the lives of 1.5 million people in over 400 communities in 46 states as well as the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico each year. Since 1896, we have supported and empowered America's most vulnerable groups, including veterans, at-risk youth, the frail elderly, men and women returning from prison, homeless individuals and families, people with disabilities, and those recovering from addictions. Our work touches the mind, body, heart — and ultimately the spirit — of those we serve, integrating our deep compassion with highly effective programs and services.
