For over 17 years, EEI has served the nation as a premiere, forward thinking financial literacy organization. However, the current economic climate has challenged EEI to embrace a new direction with bold new initiatives. EEI is more than an organization who simply wants to teach youth about credit cards and budgeting. We want youth to understand the importance of financial independence. Our Vision-A world of financially independent citizens who understand and take responsibility for their financial choices and the impact those choices have on others and the community at large. Our Mission To equip youth and young adults with the tools and resources needed to achieve financial independence, allowing them to responsibly manage their resources and build entrepreneurial success, while pursuing their passion and maximizing their contribution to society.
