Stavros Institute is an organization founded by Gus A. Stavros in 1989.[1] Located in Clearwater in Pinellas County, Florida, the institute is partnered with the Pinellas Education Foundation to run the Enterprise Village and Finance Park educational programs. ProgramsEnterprise VillageIn collaboration with the Pinellas Education Foundation, the Stavros Institute helps run Enterprise Village and Finance Park, two hands-on business-oriented educational programs. Enterprise Village, established in 1989, is designed for fifth-grade students.[2] After six weeks of in-classroom learning, fifth-grade students at participating Pinellas County schools visit Enterprise Village, an indoor set of various artificial stores, where they learn to write checks, use debit cards, and apply for and work at mock-up versions of partnered companies like CVS Pharmacy, Home Shopping Network, McDonald's, the Tampa Bay Times, and Verizon.[3][4] During their breaks, the students can become consumers, being able to walk around the other stores and buy items with the artificial money they received from working at their jobs.[5] In the early 2000s, students could work at or spend their money at mock-ups of a Blockbuster Video and an Eckerd Drug Store,[6] but those now-defunct sponsors have since been replaced. In 2002, baseball outfielder Jason Tyner was optioned from the Tampa Bay Devil Rays to a Triple-A team, resulting in the cancellation of a promotional giveaway involving 10,000 bobbleheads of Tyner.[7] After sitting in storage for some time, many of the bobbleheads were eventually donated to Enterprise Village.[8] In March 2011, a facility representing local web-based technology and business solutions provider K.Tek Systems Inc. was opened in the village.[9] Finance ParkFinance Park is the eighth-grade equivalent of Enterprise Village, serving around 10,000 local students annually.[10] Modeled after the success of Enterprise Village, Finance Park has a focus on mathematics and decision-making skills, with the aim of teaching students how to manage a household budget, including insurance, transportation, healthcare, entertainment, utilities, and other expenses.[2][11][12][13] Students participating at Finance Park are challenged to pay all of their bills and balance their checkbooks by the end of their visit.[5] In October 2018, a facility representing the YMCA was opened in Finance Park. David Jezek, president and CEO of the YMCA of Greater St. Petersburg, stated that "We are thrilled to partner in this manner, enhancing our impact on middle school students through financial literacy and health".[10] Image galleryReferences1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.tampabay.com/news/education/k12/gus-stavros-institute-celebrates-20-years-teaching-free-enterprise/970259|title=Gus Stavros Institute celebrates 20 years teaching free enterprise|work=Tampa Bay Times|author=Keith Niebuhr|date=January 24, 2009|access-date=July 20, 2017}} 2. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.tbnweekly.com/pinellas_county_schools/content_articles/021115_sch-01.txt|title=Growing up quickly: Stavros Institute introduces students to adulthood|website=Tbnweekly.com|date=February 11, 2015|author=Kate Feldman|access-date=June 28, 2017}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.stavrosinstitute.org/enterprise-village|title=Enterprise Village|website=Stavrosinstitute.org|publisher=Stavros Institute|access-date=June 28, 2017}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.chronicleonline.com/news/education/school-snapshots-students-work-at-enterprise-village/article_cbcf3980-1100-11e8-836c-474deedcf558.html|title=School Snapshots: Students work at Enterprise Village|date=February 13, 2018|work=Citrus County Chronicle|access-date=December 12, 2018}} 5. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.stavrosinstitute.org/news/news-item/2015/03/10/they-just-might-be-your-boss-one-day!-we-need-your-help-to-get-them-ready!|title=They just might be your boss one day!
