About Us
We are a group of high schoolers who are passionate about economics. We decided to use our interest in economics to help the community, by hosting our webinars and inviting guest speakers to talk more about economics to students in our community and beyond.
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!
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.
