We Are Skyward Youth Aviation.
Skyward Youth Aviation programs (Fledging Youth, a non-profit 501 (c)(3) Public Charity) were started by individuals who have a passion for aviation, flight, and education. Whether our students pursue a career in aviation or explore airplanes as a hobby, we are proud of our contribution to the field of aviation, and our excitement increases with each new class. Our programs utilize the latest state-of-the-art technology to facilitate training, demonstrational glider flights and our staff are experts in their field!
It All Starts With A Vision...
Ours is to introduce students to the wonderful disciplines of aviation while enhancing their confidence in the areas of science, technology, engineering, and math (S.T.E.M). We want every student to achieve their academic and personal best while engaged in dynamic aviation learning. We strive to improve students' lives by building their knowledge of aviation and aviation careers.
SYA Programs + Workshops
Skyward Youth Aviation's curriculum was designed to introduce students to the world of aviation while building self-confidence. We are excited to offer a variety of programs throughout the year and look forward to helping each student reach their personal aviation goals.
