What does it take to run a town? In this exciting, hands-on class, students will discover the answer!
Using the Young Ameritowne curriculum, students will explore the foundations of our free enterprise system through interactive activities and real-world experiences. Along the way, they'll learn about economics, banking, personal finance, government, communications, philanthropy, and business—all while developing teamwork, leadership, and decision-making skills.
Throughout the year, students will prepare for the ultimate challenge: spending a day at the Young Ameritowne facility in Denver, where they'll step into the roles of business owners, bankers, government officials, journalists, and citizens to run their own miniature American town. It's an unforgettable opportunity to put classroom learning into action while experiencing firsthand how a community works together to succeed.
