Support the Launch of the Academy of Business Literacy and Economic Empowerment’s Groundbreaking Entrepreneurship Program!

We are on a mission to transform education by developing a comprehensive 6th-12th grade entrepreneurship curriculum designed to empower students with the skills they need for financial independence, business literacy, and real-world success.

About Us:

The Academy of Business Literacy and Economic Empowerment (ABLE) is committed to fostering economic empowerment, leadership, and entrepreneurial thinking among underserved communities. While the full curriculum is in development, we are excited to begin implementing the program in partnership with local community centers, bringing essential business education directly to the heart of our communities.

Our Vision:

Middle School (6th-8th Grade): Young students will explore basic entrepreneurial concepts by engaging in hands-on activities like managing a school-spirit store. This will build early business knowledge, teamwork, and financial literacy.
High School (9th-12th Grade): As students progress, they will delve into business fundamentals, innovation, and product development. By their junior year, they will launch real businesses, pitching ideas to local investors in a Shark Tank-style competition, with the opportunity to secure funding to scale their ventures as seniors.

Why We Need Your Help:

Your support will directly fund the development of our curriculum and allow us to kickstart this program at community centers across Jacksonville. These centers will serve as the launchpad for the Academy, where students can begin their entrepreneurial journey while we work to bring this program to our own ABLE Campus.

Provide the resources needed to develop a cutting-edge curriculum that integrates business literacy and entrepreneurship into students’ core education.
Empower future business leaders from underserved communities, setting them on the path to economic independence and success.
Help begin development on Waldorf-style school campus, providing underserved youth with a hands-on, nature-based education that fosters business literacy, entrepreneurship, and holistic growth.
