“Economic Literacy Series Open to Greensboro Teens”
by Whitney Kenerly
“Summer is all fun and games for a teen until they realize they have no idea how to balance a checkbook. With a heated national discourse around the financial struggles of post-grads squeezed by student debt and low-income jobs, the Greensboro Public Library and Greensboro Municipal Federal Credit Union have teamed up for an Economic Literacy Summer Series.
The series consists of programs held from June 7 to August 5 designed by ReBuildUp, a company based in Greensboro that provides resources to “inspire the current and next generation of entrepreneurs about economics and business.”
By completing both games, players will be eligible to enter their own business concepts to the Cashless Incubator for review by area businesses in hopes of landing internships, jobs, or resources for their startup idea. Participants of the Jobs Course will not have to pay the minimal signup fee to enter the Cashless Incubator for six months thanks to a generous donation by Summit Credit Union.
Summit Credit Union is sponsoring the event with Shift, the Nussbaum Center’s startup group, providing assistance.
For business owners, consider taking part by listing any available internships, jobs, or resources you’re willing to barter in exchange for skills. This will provide the newly economically literate graduates of ReBuildUp’s Jobs Course opportunities to apply for to further their futures. Sign up by Clicking Here.
If you have a teenager that can benefit from economic and entrepreneur literacy along with having an opportunity at an internship, job, or resources for their own startups through the Cashless Incubator, please come out for the event at:
