As a nonprofit we want to teach youth about basic effective fundraising tips. Why is this important? Because it gives youth a sense of direction, better understanding, and helps youth learn important life skills. Regardless if youth wants to work a 9-5 job or become an entrepreneur. You must start from somewhere.
We support youth entrepreneurs & promote teamwork.
NIE teaches youth about essential life skills, such as goal- setting, planning, accountability, leadership but teamwork teaches essential communication and social skills, such as active listening and effective speaking. Also, enlightening the youth on the importance of supporting one another. We believe, "team work makes the dream work." NIE's building confidence and great leaders.
