Charity For Debt is a new non profit dedicated to helping students and alumni pay off their student loan debt by providing paid (up to $20/hour) volunteer opportunities at local charitable organizations. Charity For Debt establishes unique partnerships between local businesses and giving individuals to sponsor students to contribute their energy for local charitable needs in the community. Our goal is to obtain at least 300 interested volunteers, 20 partner non profits, and $10,000 in donations to pilot two projects in Washington DC and Dallas TX. Be the first to sign up as volunteer and help us get this project off the ground! News Updates: We were chosen at the Organization of the Month on a Fundraising Blog - view blog posting here. We are partnering with a great DC non profit - For Love of Children (www.floc.org). The law firm Hunton and Williams (www.hunton.com) has agreed to provide legal work pro bono! Thank you David and Frank! We have 5 generous donors who have agreed to be sponsors so far! We are being contacted by non profits left and right and plan to have a large pool of volunteer activities for our volunteers to choose from We are in discussions with a person in South Africa who wants to start up a Charity for Debt "franchise" for her community.

"My name is Stephanie McCandless and I love the idea of this project. This is a great way to give back to the community and get my student loan debt paid off quickly. I also get to build a great relationship with my sponsoring donor who has coached me on debt management and finance advice. Make sure you sign up for the project early. They are just taking 50 students in the initial pilot program." ~ Stephanie McCandless
