Breaking Barriers
Breaking Barriers is a program designed to normalize aviation and educate young people about the vastly growing world of aviation and the strides being made by underrepresented groups.
Breaking Barriers provides childrenĀ grades K-12 with literature written by or about aviation personnel who have overcome adversity and thrived in the field of aviation. These publications will be made available to local libraries, schools and children who attend program events. Authors and aviation personnel will read these stories to children in attendance and answer any questions they may have about the book, their career or the field of aviation. This will help promote an interest in aviation and plant the seed for future inquiry into aviation as a profession.
Through this program, The BlueJireh Foundation inspires the next generation of aerospace professionals, contributing to a more diverse and inclusive industry.
