Education and Outreach

As part of the United States central bank, the Cleveland Fed helps provide the nation with a safer and more stable monetary and financial system, and we also support the well-being of communities across the country and in our District, which covers Ohio, western Pennsylvania, the panhandle of West Virginia, and eastern Kentucky.

Mission: We serve our communities, with an emphasis on the underserved, by connecting individuals of all ages with educational resources to support them in reaching their economic potential and to build an understanding of the Federal Reserve's role in the nation's economy.

Vision: Build a brighter financial future with opportunities for all.

The Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland’s Education and Museum Outreach (EMO) department is a cornerstone of the Bank’s community and education outreach efforts. Council members are recruited from the Fourth District (Ohio, western Pennsylvania, eastern Kentucky, and the northern panhandle of West Virginia). Members are selected to serve a two-year term and may serve more than one term.

The EMO department seeks individuals who value the role of education, critical thinking, and lifelong learning. Council members participate in discussions that help guide future strategies and help inform the department’s effectiveness. Council members also make recommendations, provide feedback and perspectives on the museum’s areas of focus such as community engagement, marketing, outreach, programming, curriculum, and technology.
