Locally, we participate in career days at the schools, open houses, and mentoring of the student members. We partner with various organizations that target youth from all walks of life to expose them to aviation and encourage them to consider pursuing aviation related careers.
Les Morris Summer Flight Academy:
This is a two week program that is held annually in Houston, TX. The academy provides ground training and flight lessons for 12 -16 to teenagers. The AEF chapter has sponsored, on average, 1 student per year for the past 18 years, at the cost of $ 3500 per student.
The Donations will help us sponsor students that are
interested in a career in aviation and willing to participate but not financially able to attend the SFA.
Funds are needed in March of each year in order to register the students for the academy after they meet
certain requirements to attend the SFA.
