Teaching Entrepreneurship

Can an at-risk teenage girl launch a successful soda company? She can if she’s enrolled in a program by the National Foundation for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE) designed to help young people become economically productive members of society by improving their academic, business and technological skills through entrepreneurship education.



Follow the story of Yesenia and other inner city high school students as they attempt to secure financing critical to launching their dream of an all-natural soda company, and hear why some say entrepreneurship education is the biggest civil rights issue facing America today.
  
Produced and edited by John D. Tulenko.
