Schools from across Wyoming are participating in this proven blended-learning program where fifth  grade students learn about personal finance and vital elements of a free enterprise economy. Teachers collaborate closely with our experienced financial literacy educator to teach classroom-based lessons. The  program culminates with a day where students apply their knowledge in Young AmeriTowne®:  WyoTowne, and run their own town for a day. Students gain lifelong workplace readiness and financial  management skills. In Young AmeriTowne®: WyoTowne, students experience a complete economy;  business transactions, profit and loss, payroll, insurance premiums, in addition to town government and  civics. WyoTowne aligns with fifth grade CCSS in Math, Reading, 21st Century Skills as well as  Wyoming State Standards in the areas of ELA, Health, Social Studies and Career Readiness. Parent  volunteers are a part of the process and community banking partners attend to facilitate as business  consultants during the day of Towne. Student’s learn philanthropy through giving back to their  community in the form of our Donation Station which sponsors three local charities.  Our Vision is that youth of every background will gain financial skills, workplace experience and  understanding of a free enterprise economy. Through a combination of hands-on learning and classroom  lessons, students will be prepared to manage their money wisely to be responsible, productive citizens.

The Young AmeriTowne: WyoTowne curriculum is a comprehensive program costing $2,500 per visit to  Towne. Group sizes can range from 25 to 65 students with many larger schools combining classrooms to  support the collaborative nature of lessons. Teacher training, student workbooks and materials, as well as  all items provided during students visit to Towne are included.
