Volunteer opportunities for PE Associate

Have you looked into Big Brother Big Sister?

a lot of the "white collar" volunteer opportunities are great, in fact i am a board member at a small non-profit. what i find most rewarding however, is volunteering at a soup kitchen or domestic abuse shelter.

mentoring a kid is awesome but serving up soup, bagging groceries for people in need or simply volunteering your time at a shelter is imo REAL. helps people like us stay connected to the real world. i highly recommend you do it at least once, it is a rather humbling experience

Look into Defy Ventures. They help convicts start their own businesses when they get out. The thinking is, if they were smart enough to run a drug ring or gambling racket, they're smart enough to run a legitimate business. You can either do one on one mentoring with a specific entrepreneur, or they have events which are basically like speed dating where you essentially read the profiles of the different participants' businesses and offer comments, advice, or point out flaws in the plan.

Junior Achievement is a great opportunity to increase the financial literacy at young age in the US.

I volunteer at my local Humane Society and VA medical center. I recommend checking with your local VA, they have dozens of programs running the gamut from greenhouse work to music therapy.

I actually asked about personal finance education when I was deciding what to do at the VA. While mine does not have a financial literacy program, they seemed open to the idea of creating a program. I opted for a couple programs not finance related that were also a good fit. Your local VA could very well have a financial literacy program or be happy to create such a program.

Either way, it's great that you're looking to give back. It is very rewarding.

gotta cop those ECs for Bschool

I know of a small documentary film group called Bumfights that showcases the struggles of homeless people. I think they stopped filming about a decade ago due to a lack of donations. Maybe you can resurrect the organization?

You should consider volunteering at Casting Couch, it is an well known organisation that gives young women an opportunity to break into several very competitive industries and achieve financial freedom. Working with ambitious young women will make you feel accomplished, also who knows, you might meet someone.
