Economic Literacy Colorado: The Vision and the Mission<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Established over half a century ago, Economic Literacy Colorado stands as an emblem of dedication in K-12 education. Their mission is profound: prepare the young minds of Colorado for a future grounded in personal financial stability and robust economic understanding. However, like every nonprofit endeavor, this mission requires more than just passion. It demands tools, resources, and partnerships that amplify its impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Economics and personal finance is about more than just money. The students of our community are a part of our economic system. No matter what they do when they grow up, these students will make choices every day \u2013 both financial and economic \u2013 that will affect their lives and the lives of those around them. Through our unique approach of arming educators with the resources they need to better teach students, we create a ripple effect of knowledge and skill that fills the gap of economic literacy in the current education system. Together, we will train, raise, and grow a financially literate community and push for economic prosperity of local communities, the state of Colorado and the nation.” – Cheryl Haggard, Director of Operations, ELC<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

OUR MISSION STATEMENT:<\/strong> “Empower Colorado’s students to achieve a lifetime of economic understanding and financial security.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Role of Printing in Their Journey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In their mission-driven journey, Economic Literacy Colorado found a steadfast ally in PrintingCenterUSA (PCUSA). What drew ELC towards this partnership was not just the promise of high-quality printing but also the assurance that quality wouldn’t come at an exorbitant price. ELC’s periodic brochures, and financial literacy workbooks are tangible proof of PCUSA’s commitment to delivering impeccable quality within a nonprofit-friendly budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“As a nonprofit, saving money is paramount. Without PrintingCenterUSA<\/a>, we would have to cut back on the number of brochures and calendars we are able to print, thereby limiting the reach of our message.” – Cheryl Haggard, Director of Operations, ELC<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
