The Vision was developed by Nashville After Zone Alliance (NAZA) in partnership with Vanderbilt University’s Peabody College, Nashville Public Library, Mayor’s Youth Council, Youth In Action!, and over 200 community stakeholders from 25+ organizations. Stakeholder groups included youth, caregivers, youth development professionals, Metro Nashville Public Schools, Alignment Nashville, and business and government leaders. To date, the Vision has been presented to the Nashville Public Library and Library Foundation boards, Alignment Nashville’s board and operating board, the Tennessee Afterschool Network, NAZA partners, Opportunity NOW, The Museum Advocates, and NAZA's youth development trainers.
