Our story
The Junior Economic Club is an entirely student-led 501(c)(3) non-profit that firmly believes that given the right guidance and support, high school students are capable of addressing the issues facing our society.
The Club brings together bright and ambitious high school students in an exceptional community of discussion, exposure, and leadership. We invest in Chicago's future by allowing students to understand and solve real-world economic problems in the public and private sectors. In doing so, we nurture a more effective, experienced, and responsible generation of leaders.
