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.

    First, I hope everyone is safe and well during these unprecedented times. I believe that now more than ever would be beneficial to have someone to turn to with thoughts and questions about how to get through the coming days. 

    That said, we want to thank you very much for your input to our original post/survey. We have made adjustments to the survey to determine if and how race and gender may play a role in the results we obtained. If you could once again help our 2019 NCARB Re-Think Tank, your input will help us craft a better proposal to improve mentoring opportunities for emerging professionals.
