Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE) is a global educational nonprofit focused on

bringing the power of entrepreneurship to youth around the country and all over the globe. NFTE

provides flexible, project-based learning in classrooms, camps, afterschool programs, and online.

Their programs are taught by a highly trained Teacher Corps, and NFTE students (grades 6-12) are

supported by a diverse Volunteer Corps from the local community, including business leaders and
entrepreneurs.

The Youth Entrepreneurs curriculum from Empowered uses activities and incentives to develop

entrepreneurial mindsets in middle and high school students and is ideal for use in business,

marketing, or entrepreneurship classes at no cost to the teacher, guide, or parent.
