More Experiences Await Young Women Interested In Aviation-Based
Careers
Entering its seventh year of inspiring young women to reach for
their dreams in aviation, "Women Soar You Soar" is expanding to
four days in 2011 and will now be held on the final weekend of EAA
AirVenture Oshkosh.
Women Soar Mentors Oshkosh 2010
Women Soar You Soar, scheduled for Thursday, July 28, through
Sunday, July 31, will introduce 100 young women to aviation-based
careers and a women-mentor network, providing encouragement and
support to consider a career in aviation. They will participate in
a variety of activities, including flight simulation, workshops,
wing rib assembly, and mentor sessions. The program is available to
young women entering grades nine through 12 in fall 2011. During
the first six years of the program, hundreds of teenage girls have
benefited from the experiences and guidance of women actively
involved in the world of flight.
With the program shifting dates in 2011, attendees will also
experience a variety of exciting AirVenture attractions taking
place on the final weekend - including WomenVenture, one of the
largest gatherings of women aviators and enthusiasts, and the
widely popular Night Air Show on Saturday, July 30. "Expanding
Women Soar You Soar to four days and shifting it to AirVenture's
final weekend will give attendees the chance to engage with more
inspiring aviation figures and experience what a career in aviation
has to offer as we create the next generation of aviators," said
Elissa Lines, EAA vice president of business and donor relations.
"These young women will undoubtedly come away excited about the
opportunity they have before them."
Applications will be accepted through June 30, 2011, and are
available online. The cost is $75, which includes lodging at the
University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, meals, and admission to EAA
AirVenture. Registration scholarships are also available for young
women meeting financial need requirements. Space in the program is
limited.
