The Extraordinaries: Will Microvolunteering Work?

The gist:
Got five minutes? Got a cell phone? Want to do good? The Extraordinaries can help. It’s one of a number of newly hatched social-media enterprises that champion speedy cooperation. Here is the 30-second elevator pitch: The Extraordinaries delivers microvolunteer opportunities to mobile phones that can be done on-demand and on-the-spot.

Would this concept work for a financial literacy mentorship program? It does mention “giving advice to college applicants” as one of the microvolunteering possibilities.
What financial literacy questions could be answered for a mentee while waiting in line at the supermarket?
Could this make sense?

Have a good weekend!
