Class Experience

Embark on an entrepreneurial journey with "Green Business Ventures," a comprehensive course designed for young, aspiring individuals eager to explore the lucrative world of lawn care and garden services. This class offers a deep dive into the nitty-gritty of starting, managing, and growing a lawn care business. From the essentials of gardening and lawn maintenance to the intricacies of customer service, financial management, and digital marketing, this course covers it all.

With a curriculum tailored for youth entrepreneurs, students will gain hands-on experience and in-depth knowledge through a mix of theoretical learning and practical assignments. Each week unfolds new aspects of business, encouraging students to engage creatively while building a solid foundation for their entrepreneurial aspirations. By the end of this course, students will not only have a thorough understanding of the lawn care and garden service industry but will also be equipped with a comprehensive business plan, ready to turn their green dreams into reality.

The flexible schedule (Flex Class) allows your learners to watch the pre-recorded videos and do them at a time that is FUN for them! You can also spend extra time on the topics your child is most interested in. Since this is a flex class with no live meetings, students can log in at a convenient time to complete the week's lesson. We will be going through each week as a group and I will post the lesson weekly (depending on which day you started).

No experience is required to take this class.

Students will be provided with separate videos to watch for each topic. These are outlined below. 

The videos will contain the information required to give students a good understanding of each topic, and each one will include homework for the students to undertake during the week. Homework assignments will include writing a list of topics, interests, and areas of expertise in which the students might be interested in developing a business. 

After watching each video and completing the homework assignments, students will be provided with feedback and the specific next steps to make their projects. 

Timeframe for the Week:
Mondays - The teacher will post the information needed for the week.
Tuesdays-Wednesday - The teacher can answer any questions pertaining to the topic of the week.  The students will need to complete any homework assignments and answer any questions in the class.
Thursday - Students need to have all tasks completed and uploaded in the classroom.  
Friday - The teacher will provide feedback to the class and individual students, students will also be able to engage in peer-to-peer review and be able to discuss how they went about completing the tasks.
