Take Time to Teach (T3) Mentoring

Take Time to Teach

NFIB members know what it's like to start and run their own business. As Take Time to Teach (T3) mentors, NFIB members share their wisdom with educators who are looking to infuse their classroom's exploration of entrepreneurship.

T3 mentors serve as resources for educators. They answer questions about entrepreneurship, demonstrate what a day in the life of an entrepreneur looks like, and occasionally visits the classroom (when and if the mentor's schedule permits.)

Working with our T3 mentors, educators and students have an opportunity to learn more about how to start and run a small business from real entrepreneurs. The T3 program is designed to complement the the EITC supplemental curriculum for high school students.

Educators
