Public Engagement

Overdraft and Delinquency Fees

Among the accomplishments of the Legal Clinics for Social Change is a recent report by the Israel Ministry of Finance that adopts the position of the clinic on interest charged on overdue debt, suggesting change in terms for delinquency fees. The legal clinics will continue to advocate for an erasure of all delinquency fees for people living in poverty.

Financial Education Access

The CalCaluta project is the brainchild of Aviad Shushan and Ye’ela Shulman, participants in Haifa Innovation Labs’ (HIL) social innovation acceleration program. HIL runs Innovation and Entrepreneurship programming with a focus on Social Innovation and Impact Entrepreneurship. Through an 8-part series accessible to youth-at-risk and young adults with special needs, CalCaluta equips populations experiencing social exclusion with financial education.
