Based in Raleigh, North Carolina, the North Carolina Council on Economic Education focuses on improving economic and financial literacy for educators and students across the state. It partners with the international Council for Economic Education to develop and distribute field-tested classroom materials. The organization provides professional development and training through workshops, seminars, and university-based courses at no cost to teachers, schools, or local education agencies. It relies on a network of university-based Centers for Economic Education and teacher ambassadors to hold local workshops and sponsors statewide competitions to foster interest in economics and financial literacy.

In its broader role, the organization engages with policymakers to advocate for economic education initiatives in public schools and collaborates with the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction to distribute standards-based curriculum at no cost to teachers, schools, or LEAs. Recent developments include partnerships such as a 2022 collaboration with Campbell University to offer teacher workshops aligned with state graduation requirements.
