ERIC L. MOORE

Founder & Executive Director, Educate California

As founder and Executive Director of Educate California, Moore has developed a non-profit organization whose mission is to ensure that all California youth graduate prepared for college, careers and life after high school. Educate California is an effective solution to California's more than 600:1 student-to-counselor ratio! In partnership with non-profits, we serve 14 – 24-year-old low-income youth, their families and organizations that empower youth, by providing them with resources that historically would be provided by high school counselors.

Moore’s professional experience includes 12 years as a financial advisor with Wells Fargo Securities and American Express Financial Advisors. In 1998, Moore founded Educate California and officially transitioned from advising families on investments, retirement options, estate planning and other financial matters to helping families prepare their children for college and career opportunities.

In the community, Moore served as Chairman Emeritus of the Board of Trustees for the Phillips Graduate University and as a Special Consultant to the California State University Chancellor's Office. Moore is currently Board Vice Chair for Executive Service Corps of Southern California, as well as a Board Member and mentor for the AMBITION entrepreneurial program for disadvantaged youth.

A native of Los Angeles, Moore studied Organizational Psychology at California State University, Long Beach. His personal interests include non-profit development, DIY home projects and his 3 dogs. Moore and his wife reside in Los Angeles, California. They have two adult sons.
