About this organization
Mission
Mission empowering teachers with a growth mindset in their classrooms, careers, and communities. About empowered grew out of a community of teachers using powerful methods to deploy an entrepreneurship curriculum called youth entrepreneurs™. Founded originally in 1991, youth entrepreneurs built a methodology to help teachers leverage their flexible, hands-on activities in the classroom. After 30 years of evolution and refinement, that methodology, and the community around it, grew to be powerful forces of their own. Empowered is a community of teachers that rose up organically from a calling to change the face and purpose of education and reclaim control over their classroom and career.
