What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Our organization will expose young men and women to the wonders of aviation. They will be taught by Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Certified Flight Instructors (CFI). They will learn the principles of flight and experience actual flying and log flight hours. This will put these selected youth in a superior position, to be marketable in the Airline Industry which is in need of pilots. We want to introduce the opportunities in aviation which can make a positive economic impact on underrepresented communities.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Our goal is to help as many young men and women achieve their Airmans Certificate (Private Pilot License) . This will give them a start to be marketable in the Airline Industry private or commercial.

Through grants,donations,fundraising,sponsors etc. we will help young men and women with funding to attend the United Youth Aviators summer camp.

We are partnered with the United Youth Aviators to raise funds for those not afforded the opportunity.

We were able to raise funds through various supporters to have 9 Aviators for the Summer July 2019. We now have a UYA Weekend Flight Academy starting in Sept thru May. We are proud to say we have 3 Youth pilots who have successfully completed their private pilots license.
