If you don’t already, you should go to your local EAA chapter and volunteer with their outreach and expand the net to your liking.
it’s a narrow net, ok! Narrow! Bunch of Pasty old BOOMERs showcasing their white privilege.

Young Eagles is an outstanding program. I strongly recommend volunteering if you can. Very rewarding to see the effect on the kids. Same with aviation charter schools, they’re always looking for guest speakers and role models.
