How You Can Help
Truckee-Tahoe Soaring Association (TTSA) is a California Charitable Organization [501 (c) (3)] that endeavors to be a visible glider community presence at the Truckee-Tahoe Airport while promoting aviation education and safety. Additionally, by providing scenic glider rides over the Truckee- Tahoe area TTSA introduces the wonders of soaring flight to the general public. TTSA also donates sailplane rides to local community organizations for events such as fund-raising auctions.
By facilitating a community Aviation Education Program, TTSA educates and trains aspiring pilots (predominantly youth) in varying aspects of aviation. TTSA provides access to entry-level soaring education and training as a first step into aviation. The program is designed to introduce and increase the number of individuals, especially youth, interested in aviation related education, training, and careers. The curriculum is structured to assist any student in reaching their personal aviation goals. The program is provided through instruction, classes, and seminars given by TTSA’s Board of Directors, employees, volunteers, and other professionals; it will be provided seasonally from late May through late September.
Attendant to our general aviation sailplane education curriculum, TTSA supports a robust Line Crew Internship for youth up to and including 18 years of age. The program is designed to integrate book learning and practical application of learned concepts with airfield ground operations, flight training, and aviation safety procedures. The Line Crew Internship program is an immersive experience as all interns participate in almost all aspects of glider port operations. Youth participants are not charged any fee to participate as a Line Crew Intern.
