Propilot
Well-Known Member
So now that I'm in a somewhat stable job I would like to give back. Anyone got some good ideas about how to do that efficiently? I don't want to just feel good and waste time. I started volunteering at the local animal shelter but then thought that was stupid since there are plenty of teenagers who an walk dogs. I should be using my experience in a more meaningful way...something that leverages my experience.
I'm a 121 pilot. I don't have a ton of free time with all my other commitments but I should be able to give about 1 day a week.
I was thinking about giving presentations about being a pilot to local schools. K-12 and maybe even aviation colleges although I doubt I would be invited back (to the colleges) after I gave them the straight poop on it.
I was an Eagle Scout, but I do not agree with their religious and homophobic policies and thus don't want to associate with them.
I also thought about Big Brothers Big Sisters, although the liability there scares me.
Anyway. Thoughts? I value my time, so Im not just looking for a resume builder, I actually want to do some good and leverage my effort to maximize its effect. No dog walking.
....thanks
