Start by assigning paid chores to your children
Assigning paid chores to your own children is a SphereUs℠ Premier feature. As the guardian-employer, you control the task, the pay, and the schedule; the platform handles compliance, hours, earnings tracking, savings tools, and Academy℠ badges. No school enrollment, no ombudsman, no waiting.
- Guardian assigns, approves, and pays — full control, always
- Same compliance, earnings, and financial-literacy engine as neighborhood gigs
- Hours and skills accrue toward Academy℠ badges and pathway progress
Requires a Premier SphereUs℠ account and a SUN Youth℠ student profile for your child (takes ~10 minutes to set up).
School partnership is optional
SUN Youth℠ is valid and valuable with or without a relationship with your student's school. A school partnership unlocks funding (Title I, Perkins V) and official work-based-learning credit — but it is not required to assign family chores or build your teen's work history and financial-literacy skills.
With school partnership:
Funded seats, official WBL hours, CTE pathway credit, and school-authorized neighborhood gigs.

When your school partners with SUN Youth℠, neighbors can hire vetted, guardian-supervised students through the program — safe, compliant, and helping a local teen build their work history. Ask your principal or PTA, or share the link below.
Your Charter Community Is Already a Community Sphere℠
Charter families are choice families with dense, trusted ties — your PTA, your church, your Scouts troop, your club. Those organizations are community spheres where compliant work opportunities abound. Buyers and Premier members in your sphere can employ each other's teens and refer trusted student workers — with no waiting on a formal partnership.
Organizations that you trust, that you and your neighbors already belong to, are community spheres where compliant work opportunities abound. Familiarity brings comfort — not waived scrutiny. Every SUN Youth℠ gig carries the same guardian oversight, GPS safety, FLSA and labor-law compliance, and background checks, whether the employer is a fellow member of your organization or a neighbor you're just meeting.
You trust the organizations in your community because they are pillars of your community — and you trust their vetted employees and volunteers with your children. You can trust SphereUs℠ SUN Youth℠ for all the same reasons. This is one of the many values of the sphere.
Same compliance, oversight, and safety gates apply to every gig — no posture is ever relaxed because two families share an organization.
