For Youth Organizations

Adaptable economic decision-making for any group.

Community organizations, nonprofits, libraries, recreation programs, and enrichment providers can bring the BOW learning model to their students in formats that fit outside a traditional classroom.

Implementation Models

Three possible delivery models. None require an economics background.

Hosted BOW Workshop

BOW or a trained facilitator leads the session. The organization provides the space and participants. Minimal staff preparation required.

Organization-Led Program

The organization runs BOW sessions with its own facilitator using BOW-provided curriculum and case materials. Full facilitation guide included.

Multi-Session Collaboration

BOW and the organization design a connected program for a recurring group — a club, a team, a weekly enrichment block. Possible delivery model; contact us to discuss.

Community Relevance

Sports was the entry point. The reasoning transfers everywhere.

Every BOW lesson ends with a transfer challenge — the same economic model applied outside sports. These transfer topics are directly relevant to youth leadership and community decisions.
