My favorite educational site of all is I began my financial education 2 years ago and this site along with the resources available through this company, have been a ‘gold mine’!  The best part is the media library that you can access that includes hundreds of videotaped workshops and presentations from some of the finance world’s greatest resource people.  I am such an auditory learner, and this being my topic of choice, I have a hard time tearing myself away!  They also have forums where people from around the world compare strategies, thoughts and ideas.  The signature games Cashflow 101 and 202 are also online and you can play these incredibly educational games with people from across the globe.

Kaufmann Foundation for Entrepreneurship
http://eventuring.kauffman.org/  
http://www.kauffman.org/campuses/studentcenter.cfm  A terrific place to find what the site calls “mind petals” – pieces of wisdom designed to encourage young entrepreneurs.  This site is valuable because it provides a common place for like-minded entrepreneurs (geared mostly toward college-age students) to be drawn.  Here they will find online resources, helpful student organizations, and a blog to discuss what interests them most in this area.

Watch as inner city high school students launch their own soda company, and hear why some say entrepreneurship education is "the civil rights issue of our time." --

The Indigenous Commission for Communications Technologies in the Americas
http://www.iccta-citca.org/ENG/home.html  This group was formed March 2007, and just had a major meeting with Canadian Govt. leaders and several multinationals. Major interest in sponsorship was evident by all attendees.  This is an initiative to watch.

The Montana Indian Business Alliance
(MIBA www.mibaonline.org )  held a Native Youth Entrepreneurship conference in January and below is my resources handout. There are many great related resources on the web which I'm busy collecting and plan to disseminate.  Since MIBA was formed 2 years ago, similar orgs have popped up in half a dozen states following this model. There is talk of a national meeting for these orgs.

"Indian law for tribal leaders" series of video lecture courses.
 
http://www.arizonanativenet.com/multimedia/index.cfm?sect=med
You should definitely take a look at all the lectures and web courses on our "Multimedia" link at the top of the page. Bell lecture material can be found there amidst the series.

http://www.arizonanativenet.com/multimedia/index.cfm?subject=gov&sect=med See the show we did on tribal sovereign immunity as an example of the type of broadcast production that would seem to compliment and fit with what you are doing.  http://www.arizonanativenet.com/multimedia/info.cfm?mediaID=71

World Exchange Business Network
www.wbe.net  Youth Programs emphasis: It has fabulous and timely information on a variety of global topics. I was fascinated by the ability to isolate Alaska’s exports and compare year-to-year increases. While our top two sites are still Japan and Korea, I found it interesting that our exports to a few European countries have increased tremendously in the last few years: Spain by 1400%, The Netherlands by 900%, Switzerland by 1000%, and Germany by 700%. If I were an enterprising student, I would be anxious to produce a product that would appeal to a market that is on the rise.
