At this challenging time, we hope that you and yours are safe and taking good care. April is usually the month when CEE celebrates financial literacy with a variety of programs, events and our annual spring fundraising appeal. We will delay some of these activities and gauge the right time to engage in our mission with you, knowing that there are more urgent priorities now. That said, as many children are now at home, our team is continuing with what has always been the heart of our mission – supporting teachers. VISIT ECONEDLINK WATCH VIDEO Our Challenge In America we spend billions of dollars helping our children master reading, writing and arithmetic. And then we send them out into the world lacking the basic skills to prosper in life: understanding personal finance and economics. Consider the facts. Did you know... More than 1 in 6 students in the US do not reach the baseline level of proficiency in financial literacy. Nearly 1/4 of millennials spend more than they earn. 67% of Gen Y have less than 3 months worth of emergency funds.
