MISSION Above the Clouds is a non-profit 501 (c) (3) organization whose mission is to bring joy and hope, through the wonder of small aircraft flight, to children who are seriously ill, disabled, underserved, or facing other serious adversity. The organization accomplishes its mission through its three programs: Dream Flyers, Cadet Flyers, and Discovery Flyers. VISION: Above the Clouds seeks:

• To fulfill the need of seriously ill and undeserved children to experience joy and to have opportunities to escape the fear, pain, stress, and/or tedium that mark most of their lives.

• To fulfill the need for youth to be afforded the guidance, support and friendship that a positive adult mentor can offer.

• To fulfill the need for youth to be provided with experiences that instill a love of learning and that can offer the motivation to work hard in school.

Former Cadet Flyer now a volunteer ATC Pilot Westover Airforce “Fly-In”

2019 Annual Report

Programs ATC is organized around three programs; all include flights on small aircraft piloted by volunteer pilots and are offered at no cost to children.

1. Dream Flyers is our cornerstone program, which affords each child the chance to design a flight plan and actually take the controls as the co-pilot, followed by a celebration with his/her family in the Pilots Lounge.

2. Discovery Flyers are paired with pilot mentors. Monthly in-flight experiences and field trips foster trusting relationships, a sense of group membership, and a sense of self.

3. Cadet Flyers learn to fly an airplane. They receive over 50 hours of instruction

and 30 hours of flight time, culminating in the life changing solo flight.
