About

NAF is a national network of education, business, and community

leaders who work together to ensure high school students are

college, career, and future ready. Since 1980, NAF has been

partnering with communities to improve outcomes for students,

especially where institutional and social barriers are the most

prevalent, by implementing NAF academies – small learning

communities within existing high schools. NAF’s educational design

ignites students’ passion for learning and gives businesses the

opportunity to shape America’s future workforce by transforming the

learning environment to include STEM infused industry specific

curricula and work-based learning experiences,

including internships.
