Support STEM Flights
Give a student their first flight and a new direction for their future
​
One flight can change everything.
​
For many STEM Flights students, it is the moment they see what is possible for the first time. A single experience in the air, paired with a mentor in the cockpit, can turn curiosity into confidence and a dream into a plan.​ Your support makes that moment possible.
​
​
​
Why your gift matters
STEM Flights connects students with volunteer Pilot Mentors for free, one on one educational flight experiences. Along the way, students complete aviation learning, build confidence, and begin to see real pathways into aviation, aerospace, and STEM careers.
​
Students leave their STEM Flight with a new sense of direction, confidence, and possibility
​Your gift helps us reach more students, support more pilots, and expand access to these life changing experiences across the country.

"After my STEM Flight experience, I knew right then and there that I would be a pilot someday. I started flight training the next month and I just completed my commercial checkride!"
"When the flight was over, my Pilot Mentor explained how he enlisted in the military and eventually started flying. He has been able to connect me with people who have helped me secure a pilot slot in the Air Force."
"My first flight ever in an airplane was with STEM Flights - now I have just been accepted into a four year degree program for Aviation Management. Thank you!"
