 Mission

LOGO_-_correct_color_web.jpg

Our mission: to provide aviation education and career development for women and disadvantaged youth, especially girls.

Emphasizing STEM education concepts, we encourage young people to apply this knowledge in preparation for careers in all aspects of aviation, including clerical, technical, management and pilot careers.

Our programs emphasize using aviation to enhance self esteem, and to promote team building, and leadership training.

2016 No Limits Girls Aviation Program

The schedule is set and the volunteers are gearing up for the 2016 "No Limits" Girls Aviation Program. We have partnered with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Volusia/Flagler Counties for this 6 month event. VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED! Our schedule is as follows:


January 23rd: John H. Dickerson BGC – Introduction to aviation program and Breaking through the Clouds documentary. Sixty-three girls from the Volusia and Flagler Counties area joined in for the introductory program. After viewing the film, we made paper airplanes for a distance contest. It was fun to see how well some of the girls launched paper airplanes all the way across the room. We also did relay races, labeling the parts of an airplane. The day concluded with all of the girls and the Unit Directors reciting their "tail numbers" - birthday and initials using the phonetic alphabet. Pictures from the day can be seen HERE.
