EconEd Student of the Year

Congratulations to Student of the Year - Damien Rodrigues

Each year EconEd awards one recipient in the United States the Student of the Year award. Through EconEd’s programs, Damien has gone from almost no financial literacy knowledge, to contributing to a 401k and using healthy financial habits in his day to day. Outside of EconEd, Damien plays soccer competitively, recently being named an All-American.

“EconEd made me realize how important saving was, so I started contributing to my 401k through my job” - Damien Rodrigues

Our Mission

EconEd is a student-led nonprofit dedicated to making financial literacy accessible and engaging for young students from marginalized backgrounds, particularly Black and Hispanic communities that have historically been excluded from such resources. By teaching the fundamentals of budgeting, saving, investing, etc, we aim to close opportunity gaps and empower the next generation to build strong financial habits before systemic barriers and harmful financial practices take hold.
