WHAT IS BIZ
FOR KIDZ?
Biz for Kidz is a program for
middle school students that introduces them to
business basics and encourages entrepreneurial
thinking.
Topics include goal-setting,
marketing, sales, and accounting.
Students will benefit from having
the opportunity to learn business basics but more
importantly from having a safe space to ask questions
and begin to imagine themselves as entrepreneurs.
Kids who are interested in starting
or growing a business will learn immediately applicable
skills.
The class format will include
visualization, discussion, and role-playing.
A workbook
will be provided that students can keep as a business-building
reference.

WHAT ARE SUSAN’S
QUALIFICATIONS FOR TEACHING THIS PROGRAM?
Susan Longley has extensive
experience in starting and running her own businesses
and in coaching business owners, and now brings
this expertise to children. Her 11-year old daughter
has a pet-sitting business, started when she was
nine, that has
earned her hundred of dollars.
Her nine-year-old son earns money picking up recyclables
from neighbors and delivering them to the recycle
bins. Several friends have asked her to coach their
children in launching businesses, so she has decided
to use her teaching and curriculum-writing skills
to develop this program to reach even more kids.
