YOUR VOTES HELPED EAA WIN $2,500 GRANT
Thanks to an online outpouring of votes, EAA earned a $2,500
grant as part of the “ 25 for 25 Challenge” through the local Com-
munity Foundation for the Fox Valley Region! This grant will
assist EAA in its community outreach efforts, helping share the
spirit of flight with future aviators. The winners were deter-
mined based on the number of votes received during an online
voting period that spanned 10 days in October.
EAA AND LEARNING FOR LIFE SIGN AVIATION AGREEMENT
EAA President/CEO Rod Hightower and Dr. Diane Thornton,
national director for Learning for Life, sign a memorandum of
understanding to create joint aviation opportunities for youth.
EAA’S YOUNG EAGLES PROGRAM, the world’s largest youth aviation education initiative,
and the school- and career-based Learning For Life (LFL) program, an affiliate of Boy
Scouts of America, have entered into an agreement that will help young people discover
and explore opportunities in aviation, including orientation flights in GA aircraft.
Those opportunities will be primarily focused through Learning For Life’s
Aviation Exploring program, a hands-on program that exposes young people to flying
and offers aviation experiences as a possible career or for the sheer pleasure of being
around airplanes.
Learning For Life school-based programs serve boys and girls from early childhood
through 12th grade. Exploring is a worksite-based program for students ages 14 to 21
able to learn about careers through practical application guided by experts in the field.
The agreement will provide students with the opportunity to:
• Highlight all aspects of the aviation industry,
• Explore career orientation opportunities, and
• Enjoy aviation education experiences.
