Dear visionaries!
I am the founder of the Chutzpah Factory College of Entrepreneurship; a tax-deductible charity that teaches accredited entrepreneurship training to youth at-risk. Chutzpah’ is Yiddish for cheekiness, guts, drive and audacity i.e. entrepreneur!
I am in the process of setting up colleges across australia and I am developing a database of mentors and volunteers who would be interested in sharing their insights and knowledge on property, investment, entrepreneurship and business with our Chutzpaniks (Students!). This could take the form of mentoring, one-off workshops, on-call advice, on-line chats, work-experience, traineeships etc.
The colleges are all start-ups. On a shoe-string budget last year, I have had stunning successes of young at-risk graduates starting and running new businesses. "At-risk" means young people who are excluded from mainstream education and systems due to family abuse, offending, personality typology or simply too creative for our conformist systems!
The Colleges are spin-offs from my PhD entrepreneurship research into Chutzpah in successful entrepreneurs and maverick youth. There is one running in Victoria and three more launching this year, including the world's first indigenous college in WA Goldfields.
Of course you would need to undergo relevant child-safety clearances in your state before you could work with the kids.
Come on you maverick geniuses - connect your heart with your heads and drop me a line! It will be one of the most rewarding things you have done this year!
Warm wishes!
Louise
