Generation Change: Money Mindset & Entrepreneurship Class

A confidence‑building program that teaches smart money habits and real‑world business skills

This class combines the financial wisdom of Rachel Cruze’s Generation Change curriculum with the creativity and hands‑on experience of launching a mini T‑shirt business. Students learn how money works, how to make wise financial choices, and how to turn an idea into a real product they can design, produce, and sell.

Money Mindset & Financial Foundations

Using age‑appropriate lessons inspired by Generation Change, students explore:

• The difference between needs and wants
• How to create and follow a simple budget
• Saving with purpose and setting financial goals
• Understanding spending habits and making smart choices
• The basics of generosity and giving back

These lessons help students build confidence, responsibility, and a healthy relationship with money.

Entrepreneurship Through T‑Shirt Creation

Students put their new financial knowledge into action by running a small‑scale T‑shirt business. They will:

• Brainstorm and sketch original T‑shirt designs
• Learn about branding, messaging, and target audiences
• Use simple design tools to create digital artwork
• Explore cost, pricing, and profit
• Produce their own shirts using heat‑press or vinyl techniques
• Practice marketing and presenting their product

This hands‑on project gives students a real taste of entrepreneurship—from idea to finished product.

Teamwork, Leadership & Communication

Throughout the class, students strengthen essential life skills:

• Working collaboratively on creative decisions
• Sharing ideas and giving constructive feedback
• Presenting their designs and explaining their business choices
• Building confidence in leadership roles

• A strong foundation in financial literacy
