Volunteer aviators with the Young Eagles provide free flights to young people ages eight
through 17, who are interested in aviation. The Young Eagles program has taken some 350,000
young people on flights in nearly every type of aircraft, including standard factory-builts,
antiques, classics, warbirds, aerobatics, jets, helicopters, balloons and gliders.
Nearly 20,000 EAA members have volunteered their time and aircraft to participate
as Young Eagle Flight Leaders (pilots). Volunteer pilots are needed for the many
events scheduled around the world each week. Other volunteers are needed to help
find young people, to assist with ground transportation and to coordinate pre- and
post-flight activities.
