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.

    Hello all!

     

    I have been asked to distribute another quick feedback form on behalf of the Young Architects Forum and the College of Fellows' Executive Committee. Together, these groups are collecting data on existing component-level mentorship programs to identify strategies that can be shared across the Institute.

    Please take 5 minutes to access this Google spreadsheet and fill in the cells associated with your component no later than Friday, May 22. The spreadsheet is categorized by Region, State and local component, and Executive Directors/staff are asked to fill in the following items:

    1. Name of component level EP Committee
    2. Mentorship Programs
    3. Description
    4. Contact Information for Program Chair
    5. Website/Social Media

     

    Thank you for your consideration!
