Welcome! Volunteers are an integral part of the NFTE program.

Over the years, our volunteers have shared their business knowledge and professional expertise to help more than 500,000 young people.  Whether a business plan coach, business plan competition judge, field trip host, guest speaker, and/or support in our offices, our volunteers help young people connect their classroom learning to real world experiences.

Our volunteers are men and women as diverse as the entrepreneurial businesses they own or positions they hold. NFTE volunteers receive training, support and other learning opportunities, in addition to networking opportunities and invitations to volunteer recognition events.
