What We Do

NAF is a national education non-profit that addresses the economic and social disparities that have marginalized too many high school students and their communities by bringing schools and businesses together to better prepare students for college, career, and future success.

Our Approach

NAF students take part in hands-on learning unlike anything our traditional public education system is equipped to do alone. We build upon what career and technical education (CTE) programs offer with experiential hands-on learning experiences that complement career-focused curricula, offered through our career pathways and other programs of study.

Our Mission

NAF solves some of the biggest challenges facing education and the economy by bringing education, business, and community leaders together to transform the high school experience.

Since 1980, NAF has grown from one NAF Academy of Finance in NYC to 619 NAF academies focusing on growing industries today.

Our Vision

We envision a world in which all young people have equal opportunity for successful futures.

We’re also constantly improving and innovating to impact students beyond NAF academies.
