NFTE's Public Policy Initiatives

The Youth Entrepreneurship Strategy Group (YES Group) consists of national leaders from the fields of education, entrepreneurship and business, public policy, media and philanthropy. A partnership of the Aspen Institute, E*TRADE FINANCIAL, and the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE), YES Group was launched in 2006 with the promise of implementing youth entrepreneurship education in low-income communities nationwide, with special attention to the 9th and 10th grade levels, an age when many students are at highest risk for disengaging from school and dropping out.

The YES Group has published the following two guides about the impact of entrepreneurship education:
