Volunteer
What it involves
01
That is the typical commitment, and it is genuinely enough. Some volunteers do one day; some do a dozen. You choose, term by term.
02
You are not being asked to teach. You are being asked to answer questions honestly about a job you already do. That is the entire skill requirement.
03
Every volunteer sits in on a session before running one. Nobody is dropped in front of two hundred students unprepared.
04
Standard safeguarding practice for anyone working with students. We explain the process when we speak, and we cover the cost.
Who we are looking for
Not in aviation? We still want to hear from you. Photographers, drivers, teachers and people who can help us reach schools we have not found yet are all genuinely useful.
This takes about three minutes. We will call you for a short conversation — not a formal interview.
From the classroom
“I have sat through many careers talks. This was the first where students left holding a piece of paper with their own subjects on it and a specific thing to do about them. Two of my Form Threes changed their subject combination the following week.”

“I always liked taking things apart but I thought that meant being a mechanic. Nobody had told me an aircraft has an electrical licence attached to it. I am eighteen months into the diploma now.”

“The effect on my Physics class lasted a full term. They kept referring back to the wing they built. I have taught forces for eleven years and I have never had students argue about angle of attack unprompted.”
Peter Otieno
Teacher · St. Mary's Secondary School
“My daughter came home talking about becoming a pilot and I was worried about the cost. The parents' session was honest about it — and it introduced me to three careers I had never heard of that we can actually afford.”

Parent · Parent of a Form Two student
“I did the turnaround exercise and I was the dispatcher. We failed the first time and I was annoyed about it for days. That is why I looked up the licence. I start the course in January.”

Student · Form Four leaver
“I volunteered expecting to give a talk. What actually happened was ninety minutes of the sharpest questions I have been asked in years, including two I had to go away and check. I have been back four times.”
