Our Vision
NAZA’s vision is to expand Nashville’s network and capacity of youth service providers and help them create nurturing environments where youth feel socially and emotionally safe, where positive youth development principles prevail, and where learning is fun and engaging. We create an out-of-school-time culture where youth develop their full potential and feel empowered to learn about themselves and engage in their communities.

Wow! We are feeling energized after a week chock-full of trainings.This week we offered 33 hours of training to 127 youth development professionals! We had an additional 50 folks on a waitlist..it's exciting to see the growing demand for youth development trainings! We started the week off right with a mindfulness training led by Ashley Ray of Habitat Yoga and as we speak we are closing out the week with a session facilitated by Louisa Avery where our NAZA Fellows are becoming certified in the Weikart Center's Youth Program Quality Assessment (YPQA), a tool that we use to measure program quality. Thank you to all who participated, all of our trainers (Ashley Ray, Dr. Danielle Barton, Jackie Hansom and Ann Saylor of Write Creations Group, LLC, and Louisa Avery), and all of the amazing organizations that hosted us: Metro Nashville Parks and Recreation (Coleman Park Community Center and Mccabe Park Community Center), Conexion Americas, and Nashville Technology Council). We've got MUCH more in store this year!
