For 36 years, NFTE has been at the forefront of youth entrepreneurship education in the United States, and our commitment to empowering the next generation of entrepreneurial leaders remains unwavering.
This past year we took bold steps to expand our reach, leaving a lasting impact on students around the world and in postsecondary institutions. We have evolved from our classic mission and have stepped more fully into our existence as a global organization that reaches learners of all ages.
In the 2022-2023 school year, NFTE reached 54,000 students across the globe through meaningful interactions with over 4,000 dedicated volunteers. Our influence extended even further as our World Series of Innovation competition engaged 4,000 participants from 59 different countries. We also made significant progress in our postsecondary partnerships, reaching 10 partners with our engaging entrepreneurship programming.
We're not stopping there. We are setting our sights even higher for the 2023-2024 school year. NFTE's goal is to impact the lives of 60,000 students around the world, giving them invaluable interactions with over 5,000 volunteers. Additionally, we plan to expand our reach into postsecondary by engaging with
15 partners and continuing to bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world entrepreneurship.
At NFTE, we hold a steadfast belief that if we can ignite the entrepreneurial mindset in the next generation of diverse entrepreneurial leaders, we have the power to change the world. The journey ahead is filled with limitless possibilities, and I am incredibly grateful to each and every one of you for your continued support and dedication to our cause. Together, we are transforming the lives of learners and shaping a brighter future.
