Entrepreneurship is the driving force for America to become the global leader in GDP, create jobs, and launch new generations of innovators.
This foundation is working to further understand the phenomenon of entrepreneurship, to advance entrepreneurship education and training efforts, to promote entrepreneurship-friendly policies, and to better facilitate the commercialization of new technologies by entrepreneurs and others, which have great promise for improving the economic welfare of our nation.

This is a website that got started focusing on youth investing in the stock market with a small section on youth entrepreneurship. The free material is good, but the amount of it has not grown much over the past few years. There is a members only section which requires a fee, but the free materials are plentiful and very good.
As part of their global studies curriculum during the 2010-2011 school year, students in Kimberly Clarkson's 6th Grade class at Sidwell Friends Middle School in Washington, D.C. explored ideas related to entrepreneurship. Students participated in and reflected on online simulation activities, researched and discussed mission statements of established businesses, and learned about and experimented with developing basic business concepts, including options for funding and marketing.
The program model is classroom-based with entrepreneurship curricula that teach math and literacy skills in the context of building a business plan. NFTE partners with organizations in several states and many foreign countries to implement its program.
