Parent and FAMILY Support

The U.S. Naval Academy Alumni Association and Foundation’s (USNA AA&F) parent and family engagement helps all members from the time that your midshipman is admitted to the Naval Academy until they graduate.

We provide communications and engaging programs to help families stay connected.

PARENT CLUBS

Naval Academy Parent Clubs are non-profit organizations supporting parents and
families in successfully navigating the unique experiences, education, and training
offered to their midshipmen during their years at the Naval Academy, as well as their
opportunities in the Navy and the Marine Corps. The organization seeks to bring the
Naval Academy experience to their state/region by providing a platform for learning,
sharing information and advice. Additionally, they aim to provide related programs
that promote friendship and fellowship among parents, families, their midshipmen
and supporting volunteers.
