The Full Story
About
The goal of the Urban Economics Institute is to create a central platform that will focus on educational and economic development programs for kids in grades K-12. There are many organizations who provide assistance to these groups, but they are not always easy to find. Along with our own programs and projects we intend to be a centralized point of contact to help direct those in need to a program in their area. Our team is dedicated to addressing the mental approach of our kids to education, socio-economics and provide them the critical thinking tools necessary to help them navigate the societal and cultural environment of today. We believe this approach will put them on the path to economic empowerment and ultimately, to become self-reliant.
