When I was in college I was involved with multiple non-profit and charitable organizations, however, I unfortunately knew nothing at the time about microfinance.  Although microfinance has come a long way in the last three years, I feel like I missed out on getting started with microfinance back then.  This article in New America Media gives a brief description about various organizations that students can get involved with.   It is great to see that people at a young age are getting involved with microfinance.  If anybody out there is looking to get more involved with microfinance, I would check your college student activities building to see if your school has one of the many new microfinance organizations popping up.  If not, there is no better time to start one :)
