"EconReads is more than a program—it’s a movement. With the dedication of our volunteers and partners like OneAZ, we are equipping young minds with the knowledge to navigate the financial world and see themselves in the stories we share. Together, we are building a future where economic education is not just accessible, but transformative for all."
