The Idea: At RGE Cares, we use aviation enrichment as a catalyst to inspire, motivate, and change young minds. While on the ground, our purpose is to support student academic achievement through partnerships with area schools, one-on-one tutoring, and college preparation. When a youth joins RGE Cares, they not only join a family, but become part of a cultivation process designed to empower them to excel personally, academically, and professionally. We believe this is how you change a community for the better — by preparing the next generation. Ultimately, we envision a place where all community youth receive the support they need to graduate high school, go to college, and contribute to the future of science, aeronautics, technology, and society.
