About Us
We are a team of high school students driven by a shared passion for economics and a commitment to making financial education accessible to everyone. Recognizing the importance of economic literacy in shaping brighter futures, we created a platform where students can engage with expert speakers, participate in interactive webinars, and explore real-world applications of financial concepts. Our initiative extends beyond our local community, aiming to inspire and empower students everywhere to take charge of their financial futures—free of cost and full of potential.
Mission Statement
At Economics Awareness, we believe each student should have access to free financial literacy and economical educational. Financial literacy and economics are important to student success. Through our programs, we hope to improve financial literacy rates, help students gain more knowledge on economics, and be more prepared in the real-world.
Our Story
Economics Awareness Program started as Zoom sessions in June of 2023, by two high schoolers - Eric Yule and Alex Shi. Since then, Economic Awareness has added new team members and is currently continuing to expand the program. Since summer of 2024, we have been certified as a non-profit, added ourselves to social media, starting chapter programs at schools, and most importantly, increasing our impact to further benefit students and help them learn more in economics and finance for free!


Rooted in Charlotte, NC, our founding team—representing the schools of Providence Day, Charlotte Latin, and Hickory Ridge—has grown to bring financial literacy to communities across the state and nation.
