The Melbourne Microfinance Initiative is the first and largest student-led microfinance organisation in Australia. Getting involved with MMI is an excellent way to put your business education into practice and make a positive difference in the world.

Join our teams!
Members have the opportunity to join our Country Initiative teams, which are international student-run consulting projects to NGOs in four countries. Students work with their NGO from Melbourne and travel there at the end of their project to implement their solutions and see microfinance in action. There will also be opportunities to join teams on the MMI committee such as Marketing and Events. All of these roles are excellent for developing your leadership skills and creating a positive change in the world.
