Episode #55 – PreFlight Camp’s Scholarship Winners

TPN likes to celebrate, hard work, entrepreneurship, and paying it forward, which is why we are excited to be welcoming two future pilots and Liz Greene to talk about PreFlight Camp. PreFlight Camp is a non-profit and their mission to transform beliefs about gender roles and inspire young girls to take off into their future. They have a camp program for girls 11-14 and a post-camp mentorship program, where young girls are paired with female pilot mentors. They are introducing a new flight scholarship to use towards their private pilot’s license and flight gear to set the campers up for success. The two future pilots who are joining us today are Athasi Madabhush and Shannon Leday. They share their experience at PreFlight camp and talk about some of the goals they have for their future. We are also excited to offer them some gifts that will help them as they work through their flight training. Listen to get inspired about the future of aviation and to learn about the bright young girls who are mentored by Liz and the amazing mentors of PreFlight Camp.
