The Whirly-Girls created the Give It A Whirl (GIAW) youth and community outreach event so kids and families could explore the joy of flight through the world of helicopter aviation.

These events, held in conjunction with HAI HELI-EXPO, are opportunities for participants from the helicopter community to inspire the next generation of helicopter pilots.

Events often have free rides for kids, static aircraft displays with a range of helicopters, and tables with hands-on aviation activities that provide insight into the world of flight. Pilots are available to answer questions like “What is this for?” and “What does that button do?”

Are you a member of the helicopter industry wishing to support a Give It A Whirl event? Or would you like to help volunteer to organize a Give It A Whirl event? Sponsorship and participation opportunities are available in all sizes. Contact our Executive Director at executivedirector@whirlygirls.org to learn more.
