Student Debt at SXSW

Student debt can be a crippling burden to carry after graduation
Lesser known, however, is the private sectors emergence in this exchange of service for student debt relief.
Young Americans from coast to coast will be flocking to Austin, TX this week for the South by Southwest festival (SXSW) that highlights innovative ideas and content in festival form along with music and film components. Once such innovative leader being recognized for its service is SponsorChange.org.
SponsorChange is a small non-profit that helps graduates battle student loan debt with volunteering.
Graduates with student debt sign up to volunteer at organizations that need manpower.


With the Millennial generation volunteering more and giving to charities in record numbers, organizations like SponsorChange may have found creative alternatives to fill the gap between doing good and paying off student debt.
