  • 1.  Financial advising as a Social Entrepreneurship initiative

    Posted 06-21-2007 13:16

    Hello All,


    I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions about providing financial advisory services to the community as a social initiative.  We are bringing our Social Entrepreneurship concentration on-line in August, and as part of our outreach efforts, some of my colleagues and I have discussed the possibility of further developing our financial advisory initiatives.


    We currently employ our Students in Free Enterprise chapter as an outreach vehicle to teach high school students about financial literacy.  However, given the tremendous increase in U.S. mortgage defaults (some estimates put the figure at 1,000,000 this year) based heavily on the sub-prime market (Freddie Mac estimates 60% of defaults to be sub-prime mortgages), we were wondering if anyone in the academic community is providing advice to help people keep their homes.  Specifically, I was wondering if anyone is aware of any programs developed at universities or pre-packaged by organizations that undergraduate business students could employ to advise people about these issues?  If not, is this too big an issue, either in terms of scope or potential legal exposure, for undergraduates (and their professors) to become involved in?

     

    Any thoughts?


    Thanks so much.

    Franz - any number of non-university programs are doing this. In fact, it appears that many microloan-type programs are requiring that. Some even make financial literacy the centerpiece to great success (Operation Hope is a terrfiic example & John Bryant has spoken at either Academy or USASBE, so he might be a big help).

    SIFE chapters like yours seem to be active players; you might have your students contact them more directly.

    In your region, you might see if any college/university is engaged in anti-poverty efforts (often labeling differences come into play.) Finally, check your area's community colleges; Diane Sabato & NACCE ( www.nacce.com) would have some serious leads, I'd think.

    Keep fighting the good fight, Franz!

  • 4.  Financial advising as a Social Entrepreneurship initiative

    Posted 06-22-2007 12:10
    Dear Colleagues:

    Two suggestions.

    First, if undergraduate students are 20 years old or younger, I would
    encourage them to create a "youth venture" as part of the
    "service-learning" part of a social entrepreneurship course. This
    venture could be structured to teach high school students about
    financial literacy. Each venture is eligible for up to $1,000 in grant
    money. Moreover, the high schools students they teach could also create
    a youth venture (and receive funding), teaching middle school and
    elementary students about financial topics. See Youth Venture's web site
    here: http://www.genv.net/. By the way, Youth Venture is the "youth"
    affiliate of the Ashoka Foundation.

    Second, to encourage the high school students to work even more closely
    with their university mentors/consultants and to become more involved in
    the community, they are encouraged to start an interscholastic club
    called "SAGE." SAGE (Students for the Advancement of Global
    Entrepreneurship) is structured much like university student
    organizations that have competitive tournaments, but the SAGE judging
    criteria include civic engagement, environmental stewardship and global
    perspectives, in addition to commercial and social entrepreneurship.
    SAGE is a partner with Youth Venture, and together we are expanding
    beyond the US to several other countries. See
    http://www.csuchico.edu/sage for more details.

    Curt DeBerg

    Everyone,

    Almost 100 years ago, American business leaders recognized that youth must
    understand our enterprise underpinnings. Junior Achievement, while much
    under the entrepreneurship radar, has, in part, served that need. Their
    programs, teaching materials, and processes are honed from long trail.
    Perhaps, rather than re-invent JA, each community should become re-engaged
    with their local JA management to learn if what they do fits. Please refer
    to: www.ja.org/programs/programs.shtml

  • 6.  Financial advising as a Social Entrepreneurship initiative

    Posted 06-27-2007 13:15
    Hello,
     
    Students at my institution (the Jerusalem College of Technology) take part in a country-wide effort of a not-for-profit through which they serve as financial counselors regarding the matters you raise here (personal/family finances). There exist formal training programs and materials. I will mention that since the banks here - in their infinite kindness toward their clients - have always been very open to individuals overdrawing their bank accounts - with no penalty but a steep overdraft interest rate. Thus, this is a very important service for many, many people.
     
    Sincerely,

    Hello All,


    I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions about providing financial advisory services to the community as a social initiative.  We are bringing our Social Entrepreneurship concentration on-line in August, and as part of our outreach efforts, some of my colleagues and I have discussed the possibility of further developing our financial advisory initiatives.


    We currently employ our Students in Free Enterprise chapter as an outreach vehicle to teach high school students about financial literacy.  However, given the tremendous increase in U.S. mortgage defaults (some estimates put the figure at 1,000,000 this year) based heavily on the sub-prime market (Freddie Mac estimates 60% of defaults to be sub-prime mortgages), we were wondering if anyone in the academic community is providing advice to help people keep their homes.  Specifically, I was wondering if anyone is aware of any programs developed at universities or pre-packaged by organizations that undergraduate business students could employ to advise people about these issues?  If not, is this too big an issue, either in terms of scope or potential legal exposure, for undergraduates (and their professors) to become involved in?

     

    Any thoughts?


    Thanks so much.


    Franz Lohrke
