Or egon Council on

Economic Education

www.econoregon.org

The Oregon Council on Economic Education is a non-profit organization dedicated to
empowering and supporting teachers of economics and personal finance in the Ore-

gon K-12 education system. For over 60 years our council has been working to ensure
each generation of Oregonian students is equipped with the knowledge and tools to be
prepared for their roles in the global economy. We accomplish this by providing teach-
er training and support through workshops, classroom materials, after-school programs,
awards, and academic games and competitions to help teachers engage their students
in the subjects of economics and personal finance.

Our services are available free of charge to teachers and community leaders throughout
Oregon. We depend on the generous support of private donations and grants to cover
the cost of our programs. OCEE is currently an all-volunteer organization with very low

administrative costs. Nearly all funding goes directly to programs.

Personal finance and career preparation have been added to the graduation require-
ments for Oregon high schools. OCEE is actively engaged with the Oregon Department
of Education to help proactively develop educator support and training for the
implementation of the new requirements in Senate Bill 3.

We ask for your financial support, however we also welcome volunteers who share our

goal of promoting education in economics and personal finance. Please contact us at
contact@econoregon.org or visit our website (www.econoregon.org) for more
