This National Entrepreneurship Month, I'm on a mission to raise funds for the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE), an organization that transformed my life. Growing up in South Florida with no clear plans for the future beyond high school, everything changed when I took a NFTE course in 2017. That experience awakened me to my true potential. NFTE helped me find purpose in entrepreneurship and ignited my passion for helping others. I often wonder where I might be today if the NFTE program hadn't been offered at my school.

As a proud NFTE alum and now the Lead Alumni Associate at the organization, I truly believe in NFTE's mission. Your support can help fuel the future of leaders like me and like Raneem Al Suwaidani, who brought her innovative food truck rental idea, Lilypad, to life through NFTE.

As the year-end nears and we celebrate Youth Entrepreneurship Day and global entrepreneurship, there's no better time to make a difference. NFTE's programs empower young people to explore their passions, discover potential career paths, and gain the confidence they need to thrive in a rapidly changing world. When you donate to NFTE, you're helping to build a pipeline of successful entrepreneurial leaders equipped with the skills they need for lifelong success. Just $500 supports a student for a year—that's only $42 a month—and every dollar donated helps a student own their future.

Imagine the impact your contribution can make on a young person's life, just as NFTE made on mine.

Join me in fueling a brighter future! Donate now!
