Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Children & Youth, Education, Youth Development
Mission: Wright flight, inc. Is a student incentive program that uses the inherent motivational power of aviation for students in 5th through 12th grade as a means for them to set and achieve goals in academic or personal developmental areas, stressing aviation, math, science and other technical fields. This program also includes an anti-drug/alcohol/substance abuse component.
Programs: Wright flight motivational programs were given through the use of wright flight history of aviation materials and lesson plans to over 1,000 youngsters in the southern arizona region from over 20 schools. We provide the program to private and public schools. Most of the schools involved were elementary school programs administrated by paid staff, volunteers and teachers who were trained by wright flight members. Over 620 youngsters graduated from the program and received aviation incentive flights and t-shirts, photographs and "first flight certificates". Teachers reported increased attendance and better classroom discipline and better grades for those students in the wright flight program.
