What role do parents/guardians and afterschool program staff have in Flight Crew programming?

Parents/guardians and program staff are critical supporters and champions of youth in their STEM journey. Parents/guardians and program staff do not participate directly in Flight Crew programming, meaning they do not attend monthly Zoom meetings and do not complete any projects. However, for in-person events, chaperones may be required to accompany minors.

Parents/guardians will be requested to sign off on certain paperwork, such as in-person participant permission and media releases if their Flight Crew youth is under the age of 18.
