Empower a young person to start their entrepreneurial journey to a better future. NFTE ignites the entrepreneurial mindset and builds startup skills in youth from under-resourced communities to ensure their success and to create a more vibrant society. We rely on volunteers from the business and entrepreneurial community to bring real-world insights and expertise to the classroom experience. Please note this is an in-person volunteer opportunity.
 
NFTE's World Series of Innovation (WSI) invites young people to get involved in solving the biggest challenges facing humanity today and help advance the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Innovation Days are community events that pair students and volunteers in a day of learning, preparing student teams to participate in the World Series of Innovation.
