The Flight School Fellowship is an opportunity to break free from what's usually expected during the year after high school so you can discover what truly matters. Here, you'll join dreamers and changemakers from across the globe who dare to pause, look up, and ask:
What questions animate me?
Who am I beyond my achievements?
How might I become my truest self?
This isn't a gap year – it's a Launch Year into adulthood. It is a time to find your inner compass, your people, and your power. A space to get inspired, discover what brings you to life, and begin shaping a more humane future.
