For the final session of the Youth Leadership Airport Academy, students turned their passion for flight into a plan for the future.
After exploring operations, mechanics, and sustainability, this week focused on postsecondary aviation pathways — trade schools, community college, and four-year universities. Students met an expert college-and-career panel, created LinkedIn profiles, and took professional headshots to carry it all forward.
A massive thank you to our educational partners, the Youth Development Department, and Councilmember Imelda Padilla for empowering the future of flight. ✈️
