OUR MISSION

Our mission is to promote economic literacy and empower all individuals to make informed financial decisions. We're committed to providing accessible economic education regardless of background. Through programs and resources, we aim to equip people of all ages with the tools to understand personal finance and shape a prosperous and equal future.

Hi, my name is Kwame Mensah-Boone and I am a high school sophomore. I started this organization because because of the raging economic inequality in our society, and due to the lack of economic literacy programs to combat those inequalities. In my free time I enjoy cooking, throwing shot put and discus, competing in Lincoln-Douglas debate, and all to do with economics.

Hello, my name is Grace. I am a high school student who enjoys writing, anything to do with music, as well as analyzing media. I joined the ELI because I want to help uplift communities, and economic literacy has been shown to be a key in accomplishing that.
