Empowering Arkansas's scholars

Preparing students for life after graduation with real-world concepts.

At the Better Business Bureau® (BBB), we are dedicated to fostering marketplace trust. We believe in equipping the leaders of tomorrow with essential skills and knowledge to navigate the modern world! As part of our commitment to the community, we offer a range of educational programs designed specifically for school and college-age students.

Our programs

Ethics

New: Ethical AI

Ethical decision-making is crucial for the success of future leaders. Our interactive sessions engage students on topics such as corporate responsibility and school/workplace ethics.

Staying safe online

The digital world offers immense opportunities but also poses risks. We cover topics such as online privacy, ID theft, and the importance of safe browsing habits.

Employment scams

With the rise of online job platforms, it's crucial for students to be aware of potential employment scams. We educate students on recognizing fraudulent job offers and common red flags.

Business & entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurship offers students the opportunity to shape their own futures. Our programs guide students through the fundamentals of developing a business plan and more.

Financial aid fraud

As students explore higher ed funding, they may encounter grant or scholarship scams. Our programs educate students on how to identify legitimate scholarship opportunities and avoid common scams.

Financial literacy

Financial literacy is a fundamental life skill often overlooked in traditional education. Our programs cover topics such as budgeting, saving, understanding credit, and making informed financial decisions.

Scam prevention for school-aged students

While younger students may be more vulnerable to sharing their identity via online gaming, older students may be more vulnerable to online shopping and influencer scams. Our presentations are tailored for individual chapters in students' lives to highlight the top scams aimed at each age group. 

Scam prevention for college-aged students

College freshmen, seniors, and graduate students all face varying fraud risks. Our presentations highlight the riskiest scams for college students and how to avoid them to prepare for a more financially secure future.
