Student & Alumni Stories
NAF Academy students provide the best insight into the value and impact of a NAF Academy experience.
Their stories recounting their internships and mentorships remind business partners of the vitally important role they play in students’ growth and development.
Teachers and school administrators, likewise, find inspiration for their efforts in Academy students’ descriptions of the sense of belonging, support, and strong motivation they get at school.
Enjoy these glimpses into what an Academy experience looks like from the point of view of our most invested and engaged partners.
