FEFY's goal is to give young people the opportunity to experience the world of aviation.

Flight Experience for Youth (FEFY) is a 501c(3) organization that was founded in 2004 in response to a recognized need to give more young people the opportunity to experience the world of aviation.

FEFY funds flight training, ground school, and aviation experiences for young people age 21 and younger.

The programs that FEFY funds are run by Sugarbush Soaring at the Warren Sugarbush Airport.

Through the process of learning to fly, youth gain skills that go well beyond learning to pilot an aircraft. Flying requires deep knowledge of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (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. In learning to fly, students gain so much more. 

FEFY is run by a volunteer Board of Directors and is completely dependent on contributions from generous donors. Please consider making a donation to help support our Youth Programs. Donations of any amount are greatly appreciated.
