Empowering teens to invest real money, with parental guidance.
TeenVest Academy is a brick-and-mortar micro-investing club where teens aged 13-18 learn to invest real money under expert guidance and parental oversight. Members attend weekly after-school sessions at our dedicated facility, equipped with a trading simulation lab and seminar room. The program combines financial literacy curriculum, live market analysis, and a pooled investment fund where teens collectively manage a small portfolio of stocks and ETFs, funded by membership fees and contributions. Parents are engaged through regular progress reports, joint investment decisions, and workshops. The academy charges a monthly membership fee of $150 per teen, with tiered plans for additional coaching. Revenue also comes from summer camps, family financial planning seminars, and corporate sponsorships. With growing demand for youth financial education, TeenVest Academy fills the gap between theory and practice, building lifelong investing habits.
Rising financial illiteracy among youth, combined with the proliferation of risky trading apps, has created demand for supervised, educational alternatives. States are increasingly mandating financial literacy in schools, but practical application remains scarce. Parents are actively seeking structured programs to give teens a head start.
