Young Architects Forum

The AIA Chicago Young Architects Forum (YAF) is a community for emerging professionals in the architecture and design industry, supported by the American Institute of Architects, who are interested in furthering the discussion of design, professional development, and collaboration within our community. YAF events provide designers with a variety of programs including skills training, portfolio review, ARE mentorship, networking opportunities, and more.
