Organizations to remain viable must grow or die. When you look around during an event what do you see. If it is not a good mix of all ages the organization is self eliminating. The EAA has exceptional outreach programs for young adults. They are invited and welcomed. Activities are provided. The EAA also mentors many future aviators. PRA may not be able to replicate what the EAA has accomplished. Small steps count. Air Scout units, CAP, free admission for a day, high school visits and presentations are some possible advocacy aeras. Young adults today have many opportunities for various sports, clubs and extracurricular pursuits. These are some thoughts I had while reading the RWF. I know everybody has a full plate. Small efforts count. A kind word of encouragement might be all it takes to get someone started in aviation. It worked on me. The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step-Lao Tzu.
