Young Eagles

We flew 43 kids at the Nov 9 rally at Manassas and plan to fly over 40 at the Dec 14 rally. Our next Young Eagles Rallies are:

Jan 11 – 12:00 Noon at Manassas
Feb 8 – 12:00 Noon at Manassas
March – 12:00 Noon at Manassas

We are now using the EAA’s new website for event management for our Young Eagles Rallies. To
become a Young Eagles volunteer, ground or pilot, proceed to events.eaachapters.org and use the “sign -up” feature. That just gets you on the list of possible volunteers. Let Bob know you have signed up so we can send you an invitation to
volunteer for a specific event. If you volunteer without being signed up, you will not get important changes/updates about the YE rally.

Ground and Pilot Volunteers: About two/three weeks prior to a Young Eagles Rally, we prompt the events.eaachapter.org system to send an email to everyone in our Young Eagles volunteer database, inviting you to click on “confirm” or “will not attend.” This helps us determine the staffing level so we can set the number of kids that can register for a ride. Expect an automatic reminder email on Wednesday three days prior to the Young Eagles Rally asking you to confirmagain that you are still planning to volunteer. This gives us updated staffing level info.

Young Eagles flights are available to kids between ages 8 and 17. We normally hold our rallies on the second Saturday each month. We use two time slots 12:00 Noon and 2:00 PM in the colder months. Parents can register at events.eaachapters.org beginning at 8:00 AM on the 1st of each month.
