People volunteer in EAA’s Young Eagles® program for a variety of reasons. Some see it as a chance to payback the kindness of those who inspired them to pursue flying. Others enjoy the opportunity to share their interest in aviation with young people. Many simply enjoy flying.
Hard work and dedication of volunteers is the primary reason why the Young Eagles® continues to be a success in building the next generation of aviators.
