About Us

The Economic Awareness Council is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization whose mission is to prepare students and families for the economic and financial decisions they will make both today and tomorrow. Meeting the needs of families and youth with limited resources is emphasized. The EAC served over 4500 individuals in 2006.

EAC programs and materials are relevant and appropriate for children and young adults because they rely on real life examples, stories, and information youth can really use. This approach gets results. One hundred percent of teachers using our programs agreed that their students "learned more about economics and finance in their EAC program" and over ninety-two percent of teen and young adult participants agree that they "learned something new in EAC programs".

EAC programs and materials are designed to effectively convey key concepts regarding financial literacy, economics, banking, basic finance, checking, saving, budgeting, and money as well as other financial and economics topics for ages ranging from kids through adults.
