Bringing Washington's Entrepreneurial ECO-SYSTEM together to support a new generation of entrepreneurs
NFTE DC Region's Dare to Dream Gala is one of Washington DC's biggest and most exciting networking events that supports youth entrepreneurship. In addition to networking with 800 top entrepreneurs and business leaders in the Washington area, you will have the opportunity to purchase products and services from student-owned businesses while enjoying cocktails and hors d'oeuvres. Here the students will demonstrate the lessons they have learned by exhibiting their businesses and by offering their unique products and services.
The purpose of NFTE’s Gala is to raise funds to provide entrepreneurship education to 900+ youth annually from low-income communities in the metropolitan Washington, DC area and to train high school teachers to deliver our specially tailored, practical business curriculum to students in their schools.
This is an evening full of passion, commitment, and hope where you see students Dare to Dream!
