Why is it important?
• Projections indicate significant shortages in our aerospace workforce
• It is vital to economic growth - 3-5% GDP
• It is vital to industrial growth - 10 Million jobs
• It is vital to America

Youth Aviation Adventure Introducing young people to the exciting world of aviation!
• The Youth Aviation Adventure Program (YAA) was founded in Columbus, Ohio in 1997 by Dan Kiser and Steve Wathen.
• Each program typically attracts 150-200 participants.
• Currently, YAA has over one hundred pilot and other adult volunteers.
• Kids spend about twenty minutes at each of the nine stations where they participate in discussions and activities.
• YAA program as a modular, inexpensive, repeatable system that can be transplanted and duplicated anywhere.
