5 ways to start

The affordability crisis won't fix itself.

Whether you have 2 minutes or 10 hours a week, there's a way to fight back — including co-authoring research we publish.

Every action counts

Find your level.

Start with 30 seconds — or go all in and co-author research we publish. Scale up when you're ready.

Co-author a report.

Some of our sharpest research starts with curious young adults. Pick a question that matters — housing, food access, financial health — draft it right in your browser (you'll see exactly how it'll look on finmango.org), and submit it for peer review. Approved pieces get published with your name on them. You learn the craft; you walk away with something real to show for it.

01

A real byline

Published research with your name on it — read by partners, funders, and policymakers.

02

Hands-on mentorship

Work directly with our research team. Learn how a question becomes a published brief.

03

Portfolio & exposure

A shareable, citable piece of work — for grad school, jobs, and your own platform.

04

Flexible & remote

A few hours a week, from anywhere. Built to fit around school and life.

How it works
  1. 1

    Pitch a topic — or pick one of ours

    Bring a question you care about, or choose from an open research need. We'll help you scope it down to something real.

  2. 2

    Research with our team

    Gather data, interview, and draft — with feedback and mentorship from FinMango researchers along the way.

  3. 3

    Publish & get promoted

    We edit, design, and publish your report on finmango.org — then share it with our community and partners.

No account needed — you'll draft, preview, and submit in the browser. Prefer to talk through an idea first? Email us a quick pitch and we'll help you scope it.
