Hi Friends.  This post landed here instead of on the My House Athens site (where it belongs and will eventually migrate) because, as a friend recently pointed out,  I have permanent summeritis.  I have not been on the My House Athens site in a very (very) long time to do any updates but I am in the process of gearing up for the new school year (YaY!) and wanted to invited all of our school aged friends to check out Cause University this Fall. 

CU is for ALL school kids grades K-12 that have an interest in becoming social entrepreneurs.  What is a social entrepreneur? 
Social entrepreneur (noun) a person that pursues an innovative idea with the desire, hope and potential to solve a community problem.

Students enrolled in CU will take online classes that cover innovation for humanity, launching a business from concept to opening day, daily operations of retail store management, accounting with Moonjar, retail marketing, merchandising, SEO, blogging,  working with Weebly  (& other online web editors/photo editors/etc) and online marketing.  Course curriculum will include age appropriate downloads for each online class and accounting materials from Moonjar (Moonjar and Moonjar passbook).  Each student will be responsible for running our physical retail store, CAUSE Mission Crafts for the World, for a total of at least 6 hours during each 6 week session (ages 15 and under must be accompanied by an adult), each student must develop and market their own mission craft during each 6 week session (this can be done as a collaboration with other students or individually and can be marketed using all venues: the CAUSE retail store, website, and front lawn during football season ;).  CU students will have available to them a weekly study hall at the CU campus (1055 Prince Avenue, Athens) on Thursdays from 4-5:30pm to work on collaborations with other students, perform interviews with store vendors for blog stories, open office hours with CU professors or to be used as a time to work on other homework.  Enrollment & supply cost for each 6 week session: $60 payable to My House Athens, Inc.  Start Date:  September 16, 2013.  Email: laura@myhouseathens.com if you are interested in finding our more about CU.  Peace & Love!

Wow! I'm very impressed and excited to see how this experience will impact young people and the communities in which they live. I'll be in touch via email soon with some ideas about how we might partner together in this area. Wonderfully refreshing idea!

Ah, Rob. Thank you. Your post made my day and I am so very grateful that you would like to collaborate with us on this- I have a feeling these kids are going to WOW lots of people but even better than that, they are going to meet lots of needs that often only gets seen by the sweetness of a child. Thanks again, Rob. I appreciate you coming over to the blog to see what was going on over here. Looking forward to seeing you and Traci in August! ~L

Must admit your Course curriculum isn't a simple one due considerable material you provide in each appropriate downloads for each online class. Though it very interesting to accept the challenge for social entrepreneur. Anyway we are very grateful to
Cause University- Business School for sharing with us.
