Organizations

NYFA fosters the collaborative spirit of visual and performing arts beyond the classroom, encouraging student-led initiatives and clubs. Whether you are seeking a group organized around cultural identity or a shared passion, clubs are an excellent way to build relationships with like-minded people.

The New York Film Academy’s Los Angeles campus, strives to ensure students feel this sense of belonging, while having an inspirational environment to further their craft.

Each club offers the chance to participate in and foster the campus experience by providing: volunteer and networking opportunities, professional experience, and leadership training. In addition, we ensure students are able to inspire and encourage each other by participating in joint activities and events.

The New York Film Academy is proud to support each of these clubs as they unify and inspire one another. We look forward to students growing together as a school and a community
