About the Washington Council for Economic and Financial Education (WACEFE)
At WACEFE, we believe that in order to advance economic and financial education for our students, we need to provide access to high quality curriculum and training to our educators. By equipping teachers with tools, resources and professional development, we can ensure the economic health of our students, providing them with the knowledge to become prudent savers and investors. Our hope is that we can empower our students to make informed decisions as consumers, producers and citizens.
Additionally, WACEFE connects educators with the business community to participate as speakers to help students understand the real-life applications of economic and personal finance.
WACEFE is associated with a network of 48 councils throughout the country. The national affiliate, the Council for Economic Education (CEE) advocates for more economics and personal finance classes, primarily through the biennial Survey of the States.
