NAF's organizational tagline-"Partnerships for America's Youth," underscores the importance of the partnerships that form the backbone of the Academy model.  Whether with an industry association, higher education institution, government agency or corporation, partnerships offer a great number of resources to local Academy programs, including critical financial and in-kind support, opportunities for mentoring and internships, increased awareness of viable career paths for Academy students, and the involvement of partner representatives on Academy advisory boards.
