TAMPA, Fla., Oct. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Capital City Lighthouse Elementary Academy announced today the launch of a pilot program for Life Hub Jobs, an online Financial Literacy, Entrepreneurship and Career Development (FLEC) platform for children. Utilizing a $10,000 grant awarded by the 100 Black Men of Greater Little Rock, nearly 20 fifth-grade scholars at the school will have the opportunity to earn nearly $40 per week as they participate in this unique innovative education program. "Financial literacy is a crucial part of providing our scholars resources to develop social and educational skills," said LaShawnDa Noel, executive director, and superintendent of Arkansas Lighthouse Academies (ALA). "We're thankful for partners like 100 Black Men of Greater Little Rock who invest in our vital work and enable us to bring a unique learning experience to our scholars within their day-to-day classroom structure."

Capital City Lighthouse Elementary Academy is an affiliate of ALA, a network of charter schools whose mission is to engage, embrace and empower scholars, families, and community members to create a vibrant, supportive local ecosystem for all through education. During the pilot, Capital City scholars will partake in FLEC modules and receive weekly cash awards upon completion of each microtask. This gives scholars both an educational experience and real-world experiences with finance, money management, and earning.

"We are passionate about improving our youth's economic development and educating and empowering them through financial literacy," said Muskie Harris, president of 100 Black Men of Greater Little Rock. "That's why we support the great work that Arkansas Lighthouse Academies is doing in our community. With the pandemic changing the dynamics of household incomes, Life Hub Jobs will be transformative as participants are able to earn real income during such a difficult time. This new partnership furthers the organization's mission to incorporate resources from community stakeholders that are vital for scholars to develop educational and life skills and innovate how they learn in the classroom."

Life Hub is the first AI-powered transitional FLEC platform that empowers children aged 3 to 18 to learn these vital skills and behaviors. Life Hub Jobs is part of Life Hub that enables children to "learn how to earn" by performing edu-tasks, jobs, and projects online at home and in the community. Created by Electus Global Education Co, Inc. (Electus), Life Hub Jobs enables children to build valuable learning and income-generation skills, a critical part of financial education. The grant to fuel this initiative was powered by the Arkansas Community Foundation's Building Black Communities Fund. To learn more about Arkansas Lighthouse Academies, visit arkansas.lha.net.
