students : youth board

The aim of the NFTE Youth Board is to hear what you think about Enterprise education and give us your opinion  on how we run key NFTE events.

We strongly believe the Youth Board is the voice of the young people that do the NFTE programme.  We want to know what you think about the biggest topics in enterprise:  what should the government do to help young people become successful entrepreneurs?  Who is the most influential entrepreneur of all time?  Is enterprise exciting at your school?

NFTE are committed to listening to you and getting you involved in developing our programme to make it more youth focused.

who are the NFTE Youth Board?

The NFTE Youth board is made up of 21 entrepreneurial young people from seven schools across London.  They meet three times a year and give valuable input into the way the Trade Fair works and how NFTE is run.

The aim of the NFTE Youth Board is:

• to ensure students are involved in the NFTE decision making process regarding events , programme and curriculum activities
• to grow an alumni network
• to put young people in direct contact with successful entrepreneurs and business peoople

this year the NFTE Youth Board is building an alumni network and has a theme of social enterprise 

For the first time ever, the NFTE Youth Board will be running a mini social enterprise, selling Fair Trade products at their schools and in their local communities.  The money raised will go directly to towns in Africa and help rebuild communities.
