About Us

THE ORGANIZATION

The Council for Economic Education’s (CEE’s) mission is to equip K–12 students with the tools and knowledge of personal finance and economics so that they can make better decisions for themselves, their families, and their communities, and learn to successfully navigate in our ever-changing economy. We carry out our mission in three ways. We advocate to require financial and economic education in every state. We provide training, tools and resources —online and live through over 180 affiliates nationwide — to more than 40,000 teachers annually who in turn bring the highest quality economics and personal finance instruction to over 4 million students. We deepen knowledge and introduce high school students to critical career capabilities through our national competitions and Invest in Girls program.

OUR VALUES/DEI

CEE’s culture is driven by our values: trust, integrity, respect for the individual, teamwork, inclusivity and transparency. These values serve as guiding principles for how we work with each other from which all else follows. CEE’s commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion is demonstrated in both the programs delivered to students and educators of all backgrounds and in the diverse staff at CEE. We celebrate the diversity of our team by leveraging their perspectives through engagement, respect, and a spirit of belonging. The innovation which is attained from purposefully fostering inclusion helps us to remain relevant and to drive the organization sustainably into the future.
