THE BROCK FOUNDATION, INC. AT A GLANCE

MISSION: The mission of the Brock Foundation, Inc. is to propel diversity in aviation. Furthermore; to empower, engage and enrich minority youth with hopes of fostering tomorrow’s aerospace professionals.

VISION: The vision of the Brock Foundation, Inc. is to provide personal development classes, free ground school education, and career preparation for youth who desire career paths in aviation. Guidance through our variety of mentors who are professionals in the aerospace industry will enable children the ability to identify with career paths in aviation at any capacity because they have mentors who look like them.

WE ARE INITIATING THE CHANGE WE WANT TO SEE!
We are changing the narrative! At-risk minority children now can identify with aviation as a career path option because they have mentors who look like them.

At The Brock Foundation, Inc. our goal is to promote initiatives that serve inner-city minority children as it relates to career discovery in aviation. We believe in taking action with urgency in order to raise public awareness about inclusivity in the aerospace industry. Please join us by supporting our efforts to make a measurable difference in the lives of others.

Redefining Who Has Access To Become A Pilot

The Brock Foundation is currently expediting a Test Program to take the following Cadets from Student Pilots to Commercial Pilots by the time they graduate high school. This will create a paradigm shift in aviation education. Our goal is to equal the playing field so that our minority youth too may dawn an airline uniform in their early 20’s.
