Celebrate and Elevate Financial Literacy Month with Exciting Events and Resources from the Council for Economic Education

NEW YORK, March 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- With uncertainty and questions about the changing national and global economy swirling, the Council for Economic Education (CEE) and its network of state affiliates are making available in April's National Financial Literacy Month a variety of engaging events and resources for teachers, students and the general public.

For K-12 teachers: Kickoff Event - Personal Finance Bootcamp. On April 5, CEE will host a free, virtual Personal Finance Bootcamp for teachers from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. ET. This expert-led training session will cover key personal finance topics such as earning income, saving and budgeting. Teachers will receive valuable resources, strategies, and lessons to enhance their classroom instruction.

For K-12 students: Advocacy Toolkits. CEE is committed to empowering students to advocate for personal finance education in their schools. Advocacy toolkits are available to help students make their voices heard and ensure that personal finance becomes a required part of their curriculum.

For everyone: Weekly Book and Podcast Recommendations. CEE's Invest in Girls program will share weekly book and podcast recommendations on Instagram, featuring picks from both students and professionals. These recommendations aim to expand personal finance knowledge beyond the classroom.

For the future: 2025 Diamond Gala. CEE will hold its annual gala April 29 in New York. Proceeds will be used to equip K-12 students with the tools and knowledge of economics and personal finance so that they can make better decisions for themselves, their families and their communities.  The evening honors leaders who promote economic and financial education to create a better-informed society as well as outstanding New York educators who use results-driven approaches to teaching economic and personal finance education in their classrooms.

CEE's Financial Literacy Month activities are generously sponsored by Intuit for Education.
