The National Foundation for Teaching Entrepreneurship is planning its annual Salute to the Entrepreneurial Spirit Awards Dinner on April 2, which will honor aspiring business owners from 14 different countries, the Small Business Resource Center reported. The NFTE, which was founded to help teach aspiring business owners in low-income communities, develops entrepreneurial lesson plans, recruits and trains entrepreneurial teachers and nurtures program graduates as they make the transition into business owners.

"These are the top kids in the world," says Steve Mariotti, president and founder of NFTE, according to the Small Business Resource Center. "Business ownership—talking about how to be proactive in a market, and not just a recipient of the behavior of markets—is an important strategy in developing a rich, deep program for low-income, at-risk kids around the world."
