Who we are

The Young Architects Forum (YAF), a program of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and the College of Fellows (COF), is organized to address issues of particular importance to recently licensed architects.

FAQ: What is a young architect and what is an emerging professional? Young architects are architects licensed up to ten years of initial licensure, and the name does not have any relationship to age. Emerging professionals are professionals who have completed their academic studies up to the point of licensure or up to 10 years after completion of their academic studies. Although young architects are now defined as distinct from emerging professionals, many components refer to these groups similarly. For example, a local YAF group may include emerging professionals and a local Emerging Professionals Committee may include young architects.

2016 Summer Latino Heritage Internship Program with Heritage Documentation Programs (HABS/HAER/HALS)

  • 1.  2016 Summer Latino Heritage Internship Program with Heritage Documentation Programs (HABS/HAER/HALS)

    Posted 02-02-2016 08:39 AM
    Applications for the 2016 Summer Latino Heritage Internship Program (LHIP) with the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) and the Historic American Landscapes Survey (HALS) are due February 6, 2016.

    Two LHIP positions, one ‪‎Architect‬ and one ‪‎Landscape Architect‬, will be available with Heritage Documentation Programs, NPS during the summer of 2016. The LHIPs will work in the Washington, District of Columbia office and will produce measured and interpretative drawings of historic buildings, sites and landscapes for the HABS/HAER/HALS Collection in The Library of Congress.


    For a second year, the National Park Service has partnered with the Hispanic Access Foundation, a Latino-serving organization, to provide graduate and undergraduate students with internships to work alongside ‪NPS‬ staff on cultural resources projects in different park units, offices and historical sites throughout the nation. The internship is designed to engage the next generation of conservation stewards and will raise awareness of national parks and historic sites, their accessibility, and the need for the‪ Latino‬ community's involvement in their ‪preservation.


    The summer internships will begin in late-May or early-June and selected individuals will be compensated with a weekly stipend, and housing and transportation costs will be fully covered.
