Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE)

The Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship's mission is to provide programs that inspire young people from low-income communities to stay in school, to recognize business opportunities and to plan for successful futures.

Founded in New York City in 1987 by Steve Mariotti, a former entrepreneur turned high school math teacher in the South Bronx, NFTE began as a program to prevent dropouts and improve academic performance among students who were at risk of failing or quitting school.

To date, NFTE has worked with more than 500,000 young people from low-income communities in programs across the U.S. and around the world.

NFTE operates in 18 states, Washington D.C., and 10 countries through 11 program offices and numerous licensed partners. Find offices and partners.
