Empowering and Educating Students for the Future with Kate Scott

Kate Scott, President and CEO of the Virginia Council on Economic Education, joins us to discuss how her statewide organization is equipping students with the skills they need to navigate the real world. Since its founding in 1970, the VCEE has been dedicated to providing essential financial education, ensuring that young people are prepared to make smart economic decisions throughout their lives.

Kate dives into the realities of financial literacy in America, including the surprising fact that 1 in 7 Americans cannot write a $1,000 check in an emergency. She explains how VCEE’s programs help bridge these gaps by teaching students critical skills in budgeting, saving, and financial planning—giving them the confidence to make informed choices about their future.

This episode offers an inside look at the structure of VCEE’s programs and the lasting impact they have on students across Virginia. Whether you're a parent, educator, or simply someone interested in financial education, Kate’s insights highlight why economic decision-making is a skill everyone should master.
