PROGRAMS
Elementary School Age
This program focuses on teaching students age appropriate topics such as creating a company name and logo, building a product, marketing and advertise it and learn about financial terms such as investing, saving and spending. Examples of entrepreneurship classes are building a lemonade stand, making school supplies and holiday bags. All the profits earned are used to give back to BBA's partner.
High School Age
Most high school students have limited financial literacy education prior to college. They are on the cusp of living on their own and making important financial decisions that will impact their futures. Applying financial literacy applications while building businesses is a creative and empowering way to inspire students entering the working world.
Middle School Age
Financial Literacy classes teaches students the basics of money management. Savings, debts, investments and budgeting are a few of them. This knowledge lays a foundation for students to build financial habits, practice them very early in life, and avoid the complications that lead to lifelong financial struggles. All classes are taught through an entrepreneurship focus where lessons are applied to building a business. For example, educational company, sports management agency or record label.
Adults
Having strong information literacy skills will make you a more thoughtful and effective consumer and creator of information, and will increase your awareness of and resilience toward the psychological, physiological, and sociological effects of living in a society overloaded.
