Are YOU Passionate About Student Activities?

Then You're In The Right Place!

NA4SA is the National Association for Student Activities, originally founded as the National Association of Workshop Directors (NAWD) in 1973 by Dr. Earl Reum. In 2022, celebrating our fiftieth year in service to Student Activity Professionals, our organization rebranded as NA4SA to reflect who we truly are and who we truly serve. As YOUR National Association for Student Activities, NA4SA brings together Advocates, Advisors, Administrators, and Allies of ALL student activities who support and encourage student involvement in and out of the classroom. We also serve leadership education teachers, regional/state activity program planners, and others interested in leadership training and activity planning.

Each December, our annual National Conference on Student Activities (NCSA) features top notch speakers and presenters, and also provides a plethora of opportunties to share great ideas while networking with a vibrant professional community dedicated to student leadership and activities. This conference has a rich history of bringing together leaders in the field of student activities - whether attending your first conference or your twentieth (or more!), the people you meet, knowledge you gain, and ideas you share will have a lasting impact on you as well as the students and adults you work with.

Each August, NA4SA also sponsors an annual National Activity Advisors Clinic (NAAC) which features valuable Advisor training and networking in an easily accessible virtual setting. You'll meet and work with the best of the best, bringing back ideas that you can use right away to kick off the new school year!

NA4SA is affiliated with the National Association of State Student Council Executive Directors (NASSCED), the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP) and many state student council associations. Our members include - but are not limited to - state student council executive directors, state and regional leadership camp/conference coordinators, leadership educators, speakers/presenters, school activity directors, and advisors of ALL student activities. We are truly an association of Advisors, Administrators, Advocates, and Allies of Student Activities!

We invite EVERYONE interested in student activities, leadership training, and speaking/presenting to explore our website and to become an active part of YOUR National Association for Student Activities, NA4SA!
