HOW WE SERVE
Helping students across the Roaring Fork Valley explore aviation, aerospace, and STEM through hands-on experiences, mentorship, and real industry exposure.
ROCKY MOUNTAIN AVIATION & AEROSPACE FOUNDATION
The Rocky Mountain Aviation & Aerospace Foundation expands access to aviation and aerospace opportunities for young people throughout the Colorado River Valley and greater Western Colorado. Through mentorship, hands-on learning, educational programming, scholarships, and industry partnerships, the Foundation helps students discover what is possible and build pathways toward future careers.
Supported by the Foundation, RMAG's youth programs connect students with pilots, engineers, airport professionals, aviation security specialists, air traffic controllers, and aerospace leaders through real-world experiences that inspire curiosity, confidence, and career exploration.
Programs such as our middle school-focused Young Eagles Club, high school-focused Aviation Exploring Program (Explorer Post 777), and our Build & Fly Summer Camp provide structured opportunities for students to develop skills, engage with industry professionals, and experience aviation and aerospace beyond the classroom.
Together, RMAG and the Rocky Mountain Aviation & Aerospace Foundation are building the next generation of aviation and aerospace leaders, one experience, one mentorship, and one opportunity at a time.
