We Bring Economics to Life
We Bring Economics to Life
We provide workshops, training, and resources to support teachers in delivering relevant and meaningful lessons in economics and personal finance in the classroom.
We offer opportunities for students to learn, grow, and challenge themselves with fun and engaging programs that apply their learning to the real world.
We connect local nonprofits in communities across Minnesota with the resources and knowledge needed to equip all Minnesotans to be financially knowledgeable.
We prepare all Minnesotans to be competitive in our global economy, offering the skills and resources needed to for our state to grow and succeed.
The world is built on a foundation of economics and personal finance, but it's not always easy to understand. It's the difference between knowing something and living it.
We believe that the world is changed for the better when everyone has access to high-quality education in topics that make a difference in their life. For us, it starts with economics.
We help you connect the dots, understanding how economic and financial forces impact your daily life and how to navigate those forces for a more prosperous future.

Founded in June of 1961, the Minnesota Council on Economic Education is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to ensuring all Minnesotans are prepared to participate in the economic and civic lives of their communities and the state.
MCEE is the primary voice for equity in economic and financial literacy education in MN. MCEE believes strongly that whether students receive such education should not depend on income or ethnicity, or what school they attend.
To advance these equity goals, MCEE was a leading advocate in the successful passage of economic standards (2011) and of a required course in personal finance (2023). MCEE is the principal Minnesota organization preparing teachers to teach these subjects in a quality, engaging, and culturally responsive manner.
As an organization, we work to teach teachers, engage students, and reach communities across the state through comprehensive and relevant programs that speak to the problems facing every-day Minnesotans. These programs are delivered by our state-wide network of PhD faculty, expert K-12 educators, and dedicated staff at university-based centers for economic education.
The Minnesota Council on Economic Education is the state affiliate of the National Council for Economic Education.
