CEO, NAF
JD Hoye is the Chief Executive Officer of NAF. With a deep commitment to preparing students for college and meaningful careers, Ms. Hoye has worked at both the grassroots and the highest levels of government for decades, to reform how young people are engaged in learning and how they are positioned to pursue their academic interests and career goals.
In this leadership role, Ms. Hoye provides strategic direction and leads NAF’s national profile work. During the 2019-2020 school year, over 110,000 students attended 620 NAF academies across 34 states, plus DC, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands.
NAF academies focus on one of five career themes — finance, hospitality & tourism, information technology, engineering, and health sciences — with an educational design that includes industry-specific curricula, work-based learning experiences, and relationships with business professionals, that culminate in a paid internship, to transform the high school experience and engage businesses in playing an active role in developing the talent pipeline.
