EAA105 2026 Youth Build and Fly Program – mentors
The EAA105 youth Build and Fly (BaF) program is looking for adults who are willing to volunteer their time to serve as mentors in the program.
There are no requirements to be a mentor, other than a willingness to provide positive experiences for all participants.
Mentors are encouraged to attend regularly, but it is recognized that we all have other commitments and thus even sporadic participation by mentors is appreciated.
The BaF activities are structured for youth ages 10 ~ 15 years old who are interested in aviation, but every effort at accommodation will be made for those who are outside of this age range.
Meetings will be held from 3:30 to 5:00 PM in hangar G-1 at Twin Oaks Airpark, primarily on the second and fourth Sunday afternoons of the month.
