What We Do

Chartered School Branches

We have established YACAfrica branches in schools, creating vibrant aviation communities where students can engage in aviation-related activities, leadership training, and career development programs. These clubs serve as a foundation for young aspiring aviators to grow their passion.

Holiday Aviation Camps

Our holiday camps provide an immersive experience where students learn about aviation, drone technology, and aerospace engineering. Through interactive lessons, flight simulations, and mentorship sessions, participants gain hands-on exposure to the aviation industry.

Airport Visits & Industry Exposure

We organize school visits to airports and aviation facilities, offering students real-world insights into airport operations, air traffic control, aircraft maintenance, and career opportunities within the industry. These visits bridge the gap between classroom learning and practical aviation knowledge.

Annual Conferences & Networking Events

Every year, we bring together aviation enthusiasts, industry experts, and professionals for our flagship conference. These events feature keynote speakers, panel discussions, and networking sessions that inspire and connect young aviators with opportunities in the field.

Drone Training & Emerging Technologies

We offer structured drone training programs, equipping participants with skills in UAV operations, aerial photography, drone regulations, and coding for autonomous flight. This training prepares students for careers in drone technology and innovation.

Monthly Webinars for Hawks (University Students)

To support continuous learning and professional growth, we host monthly webinars for Hawks, featuring experts from various aviation fields. These sessions provide career guidance, technical knowledge, and networking opportunities for university students.

Mentorship & Leadership Development

Through our structured mentorship model, Hawks (university students) guide Eagles (high school students), while Albatross (young professionals) mentor Hawks. This ensures continuous learning, leadership development, and professional growth within our community.

Innovation & Research

We engage our members in research projects, competitions, and problem-solving challenges in aerospace, sustainability, and aviation technology. We encourage innovative thinking that drives the future of aviation.
