Women Soar You Soar 2014 * July 28-31


EAA's Women Soar You Soar is the ideal place for high school girls to find out more about the opportunities available to them in the aviation industry. The unique program introduces 100 girls to 35 women (mentors)—from engineers to fighter pilots—working in a variety of aviation and aerospace fields. It's an event filled with career exploration, discovery, inspiration, and fun.

The Women Soar You Soar program strives to engage, inspire, and educate young women to pursue their dreams in aviation and beyond.Activities include flight simulation, workshops, wing rib assembly, mentor sessions, career exploration, and more. Of course, it also includes time to explore all that EAA AirVenture Oshkosh has to offer.

MENTORS NEEDED

Women Soar You Soar is not possible without the generosity of mentors who give their time and talent to the young women participating. Female mentors provide guidance, support, and advice as the participants expand their knowledge and experience in aviation. Mentors come from all walks of aviation life—from pilots to aerospace engineers and everything in between—and are asked to participate with the girls throughout the four-day Women Soar You Soar program. 

If you are interested in being a mentor, please complete an application by May 1.
