★★★★★Maggie WentheGreat place to volunteer or send your classes to! Great learnings about budgeting
★★★★★Brenda ErpsGreat learning experience for kids.
★★★★★Jill StanleyMy 5th grader did Biz Town here. It was an amazing experience! I was so impressed at how they have the building set up and the software they use. If you are looking for a non-profit that really delivers real world experience and helps kids prepare for life outside of school, this is your place! Your donations will go to an amazing cause and help kids learn what working for money and financial budgeting is like.
★★★★★Derek MorrisWhat a fun experience for all the kids involved. Everyone was kept busy with tasks and by the end of the day felt like they had accomplished something.
★★★★★Austin ForteThis is a fantastic idea for developing young minds. I would argue that a day here is worth more than a week in some classrooms. Classroom teaching is highly beneficial, not to be mistaken, it is simply important to have exposure to gatherings like this. Volunteering is very rewarding and the educators (teachers and such) enjoy the break!
