Our Purpose
Youth Inspiration Nation is a 501(c)3 non-profit dedicated to providing kids with motivation, inspiration, and education through aviation, while incorporating our communities First Responders to help inspire our next generation of Pilots, Engineers, Law Enforcement, Firemen / Women, Scientists, and Space Explorers.
Inspiring Youth
One of the hardest things to do on the planet is to get and keep a child’s attention. Youth Inspiration Nation is accomplishing both of these things. We have surrounded our organization with like-minded talented professionals consisting of Law Enforcement, Teachers, and Aviation Professionals. Aviation will help to raise grades, improve focus, and give our children a greater sense of responsibility. Youth Inspiration Nation’s mission is to provide motivation, inspiration, and education through aviation. The goal is to show kids the power of STEM and the limitless possibilities that come along with it. ✈
“Whether you believe you can or cannot accomplish something, either way you are correct.“ Henry Ford
Aviation is our educational tool of choice. Science, technology, engineering and mathematics are all intertwined in this fascinating industry. We will be teaching kids the fundamentals of flight, the science behind keeping an aircraft in the air, the recognition of distinct types of weather phenomenon, test their engineering skills with building activities, and actually teach them how to fly in static and full motion flight simulators. ✈
Our Program: ✈ Youth inspiration Nation has designed an aviation program for primarily 5th – 8th grade students. Every seven weeks, ten young aviators per class will attend The Aviation Education 4 Kids Workshop. Our workshop uses descriptive video instruction, STEM models, aviation games, as well as static and full motion flight simulators to teach kids about the basic principles of aviation. By the time our workshop comes to a close, our young aviators will have picked up math, physics, communication, and navigational skills that any flight instructor would be proud of. We teach our students how to, “Make the Skies Their Playground!”
In early 2020, Youth Inspiration Nation was the first organization to have an aviation program, with the first full motion flight simulator inside an elementary school classroom in the United States of America! The Aviation Education 4 Kids Workshop is a place where kids can come after school to learn about aviation, aviation mechanics, Air Traffic Control basics, physics, science and much more. Our aviation workshop incorporates powerful video presentations accompanied by incredible surround sound, STEM experiments, engine and aviation building projects, and learning aviation basics on our simulators. Our aviation program gets kids excited about STEM and excited about learning! ✈
Flying our full motion simulator is what all the kids are waiting for. Our aviators will rotate between 5 different simulators while mastering some basic aeronautical principles. We know from our brief history of watching kids play video games, that they will excel at using the simulator and its instruments in a very short period of time. ✈
Special thanks to the man that inspired me, Mr. Robin Petgrave. Robin is the Executive Director of the Tomorrow’s Aeronautical Museum in Compton, CA (www.tamuseum.org). He has over 22,000 hours of flight time, which translates to over 2.5 years of his life in the air. Watching Robin taught me three things, how to dream big, how to inspire others, and how anything can be accomplished with hard work, passion and purpose. His passion for aviation is contagious! ✈
Kids Giving Back to Kids
At Youth Inspiration Nation, we believe in empowering kids. Our children are raising funds to help kids affected by serious health conditions. This is a lesson in caring, compassion, community, and togetherness. Funds raised will go to:
