Our Mission
is to influence positive change around the world.
We prepare youth and young adults for service. Our Anchor clubs program provides an outlet for students in high school and middle school to develop their leadership skills while participating in community projects. Our Compass Club program is designed to bring together young adults who strive to make an impact and want to be leaders in their community.
We encourage brain safety and health. BrainMindersTM is Pilot International’s signature program originally designed in 2001 to teach safety to children to help prevent brain injuries. It was made possible through an in-kind grant given to Pilot International Foundation and a gift from the estate of Callye Harrell Neese. Realizing the need to teach brain injury prevention to people of all ages, Pilots have expanded the program to include presentations for youth and seniors.
We support those who care for others. When you do something meaningful, you do more than just change the world, you increase your happiness. In 2009, psychology researcher Michael Steger found that meaningful work makes people happier and more effective in their daily lives. It turns out that people, who work to change the world, also receive a great benefit from their efforts. Pilot International’s Pick Me Up program is no exception. Pick Me Ups touch people all over the world in their time of need.
