Our program brings overlooked students in thousands of classrooms the start in their aviation journey.
Breaking Barriers promotes reading comprehension, constructive conversations and continued education outside of a traditional classroom.
At Breaking Barriers events, students have a chance to meet pilots and other aviation professionals. Guest readers from the industry answer questions.
By collaborating with businesses, we can expand our reach to more communities and introduce students to a wider range of career opportunities.
Breaking Barriers is a program designed to normalize aviation and educate young people about the vastly growing world of aviation and the strides being made by underrepresented groups.
Breaking Barriers provides students grades K-12 with literature written by or about aviation personnel who have overcome adversity and thrived in the field of aviation.
Authors and aviation personnel will read these stories to students in attendance and answer any questions they may have about the book, their career or the field of aviation.
This will help promote an interest in aviation and plant the seed for future inquiry into aviation as a profession.
Through this program, The BlueJireh Foundation inspires the next generation of aerospace professionals, contributing to a more diverse and inclusive industry.
The BlueJireh Foundation is a federally qualified 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose aim is to open doors to higher learning through direct assistance programs for women, veterans and underserved communities.
