How Exploring Helps Young People Prepare for Liftoff
Exploring is helping to expand the horizons of the aviation profession, and who better to help tell the story of an evolving industry than Forbes?
Thanks to a new partnership with Reach Higher, part of the Better Make Room initiative, Aviation Exploring landed a recent post in the online business journal’s Civic Nation BRANDVOICE.
The best news is, Aviation Exploring is growing quickly, and with major industry partners aboard this mission, the sky is the limit. The story, authored by Exploring’s very own National Director Dr. Diane E. Thornton, paints an impressive picture of what lies ahead for the aviation career development program.
“With partners that include the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) and Alaska Airlines, we are working to establish 200 new Aviation Exploring posts and clubs across the U.S. this year, and to increase youth enrollment by 30%.”

In fact, young people like Yoni Butbul of Pathway to Adventure Council and Megan Ryan of Jayhawk Area Council are impacting the future of aviation today. These two flight fanatics currently serve as Aviation Exploring’s youth representatives, which means they bring the adventure and benefits of Exploring to major industry events like the national airshow, AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wis., and more.
