We Help Youth Soar!
Flight Experience For Youth’s (FEFY) mission is to give young people the opportunity to learn about and experience the world of flight.
The programs that FEFY funds are run by Sugarbush Soaring at the beautiful Warren Sugarbush Airport (0B7)
We would never claim that the ability to pilot an aircraft is an unmet need among youth.
But what is increasingly unmet in today's digital world
Is the opportunity for kids to get the type of hands-on, real-life, experiential learning that our unique programs provide.
Through the process of learning to fly, youth gain skills that go well beyond learning to pilot an aircraft.
Flying requires deep knowledge of STEM subjects, hands-on mechanical skills, and a high level of independence and responsibility.
As youth master the skills necessary to be good pilots, they also cement the critical thinking and leadership that will serve them well throughout many areas of their lives.
