Our mission	The Economics Center creates informed outcomes through the implementation of economic and financial literacy programs for K-12 students and teachers and through the unbiased analyses of our economic research staff.

Opportunities	Student Enterprise Program In StEP, elementary students earn school currency for positive behaviors such as completing homework on time, arriving at school on time, showing academic achievement, behaving well, etc. When we aren’t in the middle of a pandemic, the Center provides an on-site school store at some school buildings four times per year, where students have the opportunity to purchase school supplies and novelty items. For 2020-2021, we’ve adapted StEP to a virtual environment, and need volunteers to help us distribute earned items to the students, organize deliveries, etc. One-time, Occasional 55+, Adults Individuals, Groups (2-10) Indoor Formal Weekdays Personal Finance Challenge The Ohio Personal Finance Challenge (OPFC) is an opportunity for high school students to demonstrate their knowledge of Personal Finance by competing with other students across the state in an ONLINE competition.
