💜We need YOU!✈️

Girls in Aviation Day is one of our favorite events of the year, and it simply wouldn’t be possible without an incredible team of volunteers.

On September 20th, we’ll be welcoming girls from across the Mid-South to explore the exciting world of aviation through hands-on activities, aircraft, and inspiring mentors. Whether you’re a pilot, aviation professional, student, or simply passionate about encouraging the next generation, there’s a place for you on our team!

Volunteering is a fun way to give back, connect with fellow aviation enthusiasts, and help spark a lifelong passion for flight in young girls.

Women belong in every corner of aviation—not just the cockpit. ✈️

From engineers and air traffic controllers to maintenance technicians, dispatchers, executives, educators, and operations- women bring talent, leadership, and diverse perspectives that help shape the future of our industry.

Joining Women in Aviation is about more than networking. It’s about mentorship, support, advocacy, professional growth, and inspiring the next generation to see that there is a place for them in aviation.

When women support women, we create opportunities, break barriers, and strengthen the entire aviation community. The sky isn’t the limit- it’s just the beginning. 💙

✈️There’s something powerful about being surrounded by women who understand your aviation journey.

Whether you’re a student pilot, private pilot, airline captain, or simply dreaming of taking the controls one day, joining a Women In Aviation Int’l group means finding mentorship, friendship, encouragement, and opportunities that help you grow both in the cockpit and beyond.

Aviation can feel like a small world, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. Together, we celebrate milestones, share knowledge, open doors, and inspire the next generation of female aviators.

Your seat at the table and in the cockpit matters. Come fly with us ✈️ 💙

We’re excited to be part of Career Day at Northhaven Elementary School in Memphis on Monday, June 15th!

From 9:30-10:30 AM, students will get a hands-on look at the world of aviation and explore how airplanes fly.

With approximately 70 students expected, this outdoor event will give everyone the chance to build and fly makeshift airplanes while learning about careers in aviation.

We can’t wait to inspire the next generation of pilots, engineers, and aviation enthusiasts!
