Thank you for your interest in becoming or returning as a NAZA Funded Partner.

NAZA's mission is to increase youths' equitable access to out-of-school time learning experiences that help youth thrive and develop to their full potential. Launched in 2010 by Mayor Karl Dean, the Nashville After Zone Alliance (NAZA) is a partnership between the youth development organizations all working collaboratively to improve the learning experiences of youth.

Through this call, NAZA seeks to contract with current, new or previously partnered youth development organizations in Nashville-Davidson County to provide high-quality afterschool programs to middle school youth. These programs must serve youth attending Metro Nashville Public Schools, including charter schools. 


In addition to afterschool programming, NAZA is also offering the funding opportunity for summer programs! The summer funds are only for organizations and locations serving youth living in Nashville-Davidson County. 


Please thoroughly review the Call for Proposal (CFP) for more details.
