Do you share our values?

Founded in 1987, the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE) is a global nonprofit that brings the power of entrepreneurship education to learners, educators, and decision-makers so all young people can own their futures. We believe in the power of entrepreneurship and its ability to transform lives, regardless of background or circumstance.

Our mission drives us to cultivate the next generation of diverse entrepreneurs, both in the United States and globally. By combating educational and societal inequities, we strive to create a more inclusive world.

Our team embodies NFTE’s commitment to the future of work, education, and economic mobility. We are a diverse group of high-achieving, dedicated professionals from all walks of life. We bring our unique backgrounds and experiences with us in this work, and at work we embody our organization’s values. As an equal opportunity employer, we invite you to join us in making a difference.

Our Values

Leading with purpose also means we are committed to owning the outcome; reimagining the possibilities; championing equity; building together, winning together; and driving the dialogue. To be a member of our team means embodying these principles throughout our work—holding ourselves to the highest standards, creating innovative solutions, advancing equity for all, and collaborating to achieve shared success. These values guide us in our mission to bring the power of entrepreneurship education to learners, educators, and decision-makers so all young people can own their futures.

Owning the Outcome

We hold ourselves and one another accountable to the highest standards of quality and impact within an environment of psychological safety.

We embody this value by taking responsibility for our actions and demonstrating transparency and honesty and consistently following through on our commitments. We dedicate the effort necessary to meet our goals and ensure the highest standards of quality in everything we do. We also believe in the power of feedback, and in creating a supportive and accountable space for our team members.

Our Team

Reimagining the Possibilities

We think entrepreneurially to create bold, innovative solutions.

We embody this value by nurturing a mindset not only reflecting personal achievement but also leveraging innovation and resourcefulness to create positive change in communities and empower others. NFTE emphasizes the eight core domains of our Entrepreneurial Mindset Index to drive this work.

Entrepreneurial Mindset

Championing Equity

We advance opportunities across all areas of our work through fairness, inclusion, and access.

We embody this value by creating a foundation of respect where everyone feels valued, heard, and empowered to contribute their best work, drive innovation, and help achieve NFTE’s aspirational goals, which include supporting the success and empowerment of underserved students, educators, and communities.

Our Educators

Building Together, Winning Together

We foster a culture of collaboration that emphasizes teamwork, open communication, and mutual respect.

We embody this value by creating space for others to offer support, feedback, and diverse perspectives—ensuring every voice is heard and every contribution counts. Together, we align around shared goals like financial sustainability, deepening our impact, and positioning NFTE as a leader in entrepreneurship education. Through ongoing collaboration, we drive excellence in our work, elevate one another’s strengths, and cultivate a culture of belonging, ownership, and collective success.

Driving the Dialogue

We shape the future of entrepreneurship education through insight, innovation, and impact.

We embody this value by challenging conventional thinking, pushing boundaries, and inspiring others to advance educational practices that empower students and educators alike —and we do so with a commitment rooted in the idea of visionary leadership.
