A Different Point of View is a nonprofit leadership development organization serving youth, ages 14-19 throughout Santa Barbara County. Our mission is to engage, inspire and transform them using flight lessons as a launching pad! Our award winning Aviation Career Program’s curriculum includes leadership and self awareness training, air traffic control and aircraft maintenance workshops, full motion simulator training and professional flight lessons. Students are introduced to professionals and job opportunities both in and out of the aviation field. Since 2012 we have served over 450 youth, many of whom have remained a part of our organization, graduated high school, gone onto college and stepped into leadership roles in their community.
