AmeriTowne at Young Americans Center for Financial Education is an award-winning educational program that teaches students about business, economics and free enterprise in a fun and hands-on way.

Teachers are introducing the concepts of supply and demand, job skills and work habits, banking procedures, democratic processes, civic consciousness and career awareness. Students from each class campaigned for elected positions and others interviewed with campus adults to secure jobs like manager, law enforcement, banker, radio personality and many others. Next month, students will visit Ameritowne and get to work. GO learn!

Congratulations to these elected officials!
