The National African Student Association (NAFSA) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit association founded by a group of passionate individuals who believe, like many, that anyone can make a positive impact on the African continent. The organization's main objective is to ensure that the young African diaspora is able to receive the necessary resources and connections to easily succeed academically and professionally. This would then make it easier for them to help the African continent and it's diaspora community advance economically, culturally and socially. The mission of the National African Student Association is to function as a unifying body for collegiate African student organizations and to provide knowledge and resources for the academic, professional and cultural advancement of our members.
