We welcome students ages 12-18 to join us for a day of insightful experiences and holiday fun!🎄✈️🚁🚀
Christmas in the Clouds is an aviation outreach event offered by our nonprofit, Scarlett Skies Initiative, in collaboration with Aviation Academy of Louisiana. This free event is an opportunity for youth to engage with aviation professionals, learn of educational and career possibilities, experience flight in a helicopter, enjoy STEM activities and more.
The aviation industry is projected to continue growing exponentially, and with many major aviation and aerospace companies well established and thriving in Louisiana, there are several opportunities to pursue, with various career options both locally and nationally.
As a state that ranks 2nd in child poverty and struggles in areas like education and income, exposure to educational programs, pathways and career opportunities are vital. Especially when some of Louisiana’s top industries like manufacturing, technology and agriculture often include aviation and aerospace related roles.
Events like Christmas in the Clouds allow us to support disadvantaged youth in our communities through initiatives that educate, inspire and empower. ✨
