Washington Youth Soaring

Our goal is to inspire youth by sharing, leading, and creating a community.

Sharing: We want to share the opportunities available in aviation and spread the knowledge of
all the possibilities and careers it holds. We also strive to help provide clarity and guidance on the
path to becoming a pilot, to help students succeed in their aviation dreams. Our goal is to provide
them with a platform to learn from and provide them with many resources to help benefit them.

Leading: As we are taking this journey ourselves, we would like to use our own experiences to
motivate by sharing the excitement and the awesomeness of being able to fly. We would like to
empower other youth by showing we can do it and to make them want to do it. We would also
be able to guide youth on a one-to-one basis to share the theory of aviation in a simple and easily  

consumable way, based on all tips and guidance we have been shared by the different instructors.
This is a great way to act as mentors and bring more youth into the field of aviation.

Community: Our mission is to bring aviation enthusiasts together and create an environment to
mentor each other, share opportunities, and provide the guidance and flight training needed to
succeed. We strive to help youth start achieving their dreams of aviation at a young age, and to
create a community in which they can talk about their dreams and aspirations. WAYS is a place
for youth to be involved in a like-minded community as well as having access to many resources
and flight training. This community is called Sky Riders, which has already been established in
several schools and is now being established as a community non-profit organization. We started
this to inspire youth and are continuing this goal through WAYS. This community would help
youth be accountable while also supporting each other.
