Mentors & Mentees Lounge

I'm so excited to share a special milestone with our ALAS community!

We recently hosted our very first aviation field trip, welcoming students from B.E.E. Microschool for an unforgettable behind-the-scenes experience at Yuma International Airport!

Thanks to the incredible support and collaboration of Million Air Yuma and Piedmont Airlines, these young students had the opportunity to explore aircraft, learn about airport and airline operations, meet aviation professionals, and discover the many career opportunities our industry has to offer.

Seeing their curiosity, excitement, and endless questions was a beautiful reminder of why we started the ALAS Foundation. ❤️

This is where connection becomes opportunity.

The Mentors & Mentees Lounge is a space for aspiring aviators to connect with professionals who have already walked the path—and for aviation professionals to pay it forward by sharing the knowledge, encouragement, and guidance they've gained along the way.

Ask questions. Share experiences. Celebrate milestones. Talk about training, careers, scholarships, interviews, setbacks, and everything in between. Most importantly, build genuine relationships.

To our mentees: No question is too small, and you don't have to have your entire journey figured out.

To our mentors: You never know which conversation, piece of advice, or introduction may change the trajectory of someone's future.

ALAS was built on the belief that access isn't only about opening the door—it's about having someone there to help you walk through it.
