Affiliated Partners
With an intent to expand the NAZA network of quality youth development program providers, as well as to open up access to network resources, learning and development opportunities, cross-learning and much more NAZA offers a partnership tier called Affiliated Partners. These partners receive free access to professional development, program quality evaluation tools and external assessors, data sharing with the school district, centralized attendance management system for youth, access to curricula, small grants (when available), and much more. Affiliated partnership does not assume regular NAZA funding but may create a pipeline to future funding opportunities for successful providers if more funds become available.
Enhancement Partners
An Enhancement Partner is a person or organization who provides specialty programs and activities to our partner sites. These organizations come with expertise in a variety of areas including cooking, music, STEM, fitness, and more! Enhancement Partners do not receive funding from NAZA.
