ESTABLISHED: 1977
MISSION: The Economics Center creates informed outcomes through the implementation of inclusive economic and financial literacy programs for K–12 students and teachers and through the unbiased analyses of our economic research staff.
SERVING OUR COMMUNITY: The Center provides financial and economic education to K–12 students through programs like the Susan Sargen Student Enterprise Program (StEP), which gives thousands of tri-state children the opportunity to earn “StEP bucks” for attendance, good behavior, and meeting classroom expectations. Students choose whether to save their earnings (we pay them interest), donate them to charity, or spend them at StEP stores we stage with the help of volunteers.
The Center also offers an award-winning, free online learning platform, $martPath (smartpathlearning.com). $martPath delivers inclusive, engaging, standards-aligned lessons including materials for children with developmental disabilities, and a Spanish language curriculum. The Center also offers professional development for educators. Center researchers deliver world-class economic analysis for clients.
