Pennsylvania Free Enterprise Week provides practical, hands-on education not found in any other business program. Students are immersed in the exciting world of business, and in one short week, they come to understand and appreciate our American free enterprise system, leaving with a newfound passion and clarity for their future. Most students tell us they learned more during one week at PFEW than they have in a classroom for an entire year. That's real impact.
