Daleville, Ala. (September 23, 2016) Army Aviation Center Federal Credit Union (AACFCU) �is partnering with three local Boys and Girls Clubs to provide a
Bee the Boss Program. This program teaches elementary and middle school students business principles and how they can be their own boss.
Students at Boys and Girls Clubs in Dothan, Ozark and Troy will be given a preset amount of money or a "loan" from the Credit Union to purchase a Boys and Girls Club logo item they can sell to make money. They will learn how to write a business plan, complete a loan application and how interest is calculated, prepare a budget and marketing plan and then will be allowed to sell their product. At the end of the program, students will be allowed to use the profits they have made for either a group party, a donation to another non-profit or give the proceeds back to their Boys and Girls Club.
"Were excited about this new program that will provide a hands-on learning experience for students," said Lisa Hales, AACFCU vice president of marketing.
