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.

“The U.S. Naval Academy offers a unique college experience where midshipmen learn to navigate challenges independently, building the leadership skills required by the Navy. While open communication is encouraged, this journey is designed to foster their growth and self-reliance.

We know this transition can be an adjustment for parents, which is why we encourage you to join one of 80 Naval Academy parent clubs nationwide. These clubs provide a welcoming community of experienced parents who offer support, guidance and shared experiences to help you feel connected.

Helpful resources are available through the parent website and the official USNA Parent Facebook page. I’m here to support you—please don’t hesitate to reach out.”
