about us
In Fall 1978, the Washington Council for Economic and Financial Education (WACEFE) was formed to expand and improve the quality of economic and financial education. The Council partners with the Washington Center for Economic and Financial Education in its effort to provide high quality curriculum and professional development to teachers in Washington State.
Mission
Our mission is to advance the economic future of students by ensuring that every student has the opportunity to learn basic economic concepts and personal finance in school.
Our Belief
At WACEFE, we believe that in order to advance economic and financial education for our students, we must provide educators with access to high-quality curriculum and training.
Mission
By equipping teachers with the right tools, resources, and professional development, we can ensure the economic health of our students - giving them the knowledge to become prudent savers and investors.
Student Impact
Our hope is to empower students to make informed decisions as consumers, producers, and citizens, helping them build a strong foundation for their financial futures.
Community Connections
WACEFE connects educators with the business community, inviting professionals to participate as guest speakers and help students understand the real-life applications of economics and personal finance.
