More than just Financial Literacy – Our Starz Youth Enterprise course turns young people into the CEO’s of tomorrow.
Parents want structure. Kids want progress. This page turns budgeting, saving, and smart spending into a simple “mission” game — connected to Starz Academy, mentoring, and accreditation.
Tip: your progress saves automatically on this device.
Complete missions to earn badges and build a real portfolio.
This is a simple system kids understand fast. It also mirrors the business thinking inside Starz Academy — profit, reinvestment, and decision-making.
Saving for essentials: school items, travel, basic supplies, and commitments.
Fun spending that stays within limits — so money doesn’t “disappear”.
A goal jar for saving, reinvesting in a small venture, or learning safe investing ideas.
Same ecosystem, different step — parents can move between pages easily.
These missions are designed for ages 7–17 with parent support where needed. Mentors can use this as a weekly or monthly structure.
Pick 5 items you want to buy this month. Sort them into “needs” and “wants” and explain why.
Compare the same item in 2 places (shop vs online). Write down what changed: delivery, quality, size, brand.
Use the Budget Builder below and choose a jar split that fits your life right now.
Pick a goal (e.g., £40). Decide how long you want it to take. Save the plan.
Write 3 sentences: “I used to think… Now I think… Next week I will…”
Want this guided? Mentors can run these missions as weekly check-ins and connect your child’s work into the Starz course.
This updates live as you tick missions.
This helps parents translate “money talk” into clear decisions. It also feeds directly into Pitch for Investment and Accreditation evidence.
If the numbers don’t add up, we’ll show what needs adjusting.
Set a savings goal and get a realistic timeline (saved on this device).
Tip: you can pull this from “Save & Grow” in the Budget Builder.
Generate a clean evidence summary parents can copy into an email, mentoring session notes, or accreditation evidence.
This is designed to support your wider Starz journey: mentoring sessions, pitching, and accreditation evidence.
Money skills are powerful — especially when young people start selling online. Keep boundaries clear and confidence high.
10 minutes weekly beats one “big talk”. Review needs, wants, saving, and one tiny improvement.
Keep buying/selling supervised, protect personal data, and use trusted platforms with clear rules.
Help them set a goal: “profit → reinvest → improve”. That’s the same loop in Starz Academy.
Starz Academy gives your child a structured enterprise journey — and mentoring can support the exact areas your child struggles with (confidence, focus, pricing, budgeting, pitching).
