description: I Said Yes! Real Life Stories of Students, Teachers and Leaders Saying YES! To Youth Entrepreneurship in America's Schools The National Foundation for Teaching Entrepreneurship, or NFTE (pronounced "nifty"), is at the forefront of teaching small-business start-up skills to at-risk youth, helping young people from low-income communities to build life skills and unlock their entrepreneurial creativity. Julie Silard Kantor is executive director of NFTE Washington DC and a national spokesperson, as well as recipient of NFTE's 2005 Leadership Award and a former NFTE Executive of the Year. I Said "Yes"! is Julie's first-person account of the transformative power that NFTE's mission of teaching entrepreneurship has brought to so many young lives - including her own - over the past 14 years. It is both the story of Julie's path into youth development and teaching, and of the many troubled youths who overcame significant obstacles to make their lives productive and meaningful.
