Young Eagle Program
The Young Eagle Program is designed for children between the ages of eight and seventeen. There are currently over one million members. Young Eagles members receive a free plane ride and a certificate of membership for life. Members also receive newsletters, information on upcoming events, and have a chance to win scholarships. The museum currently has its own newsletter called the "Sport Aviation", which involves the news, upcoming events, award recognitions, and other features about the museum. At all of EAA's events, Young Eagles are invited to participate and are usually recognized. There are also Young Eagle education sessions available at these events. Being a part of this program allows kids to learn facts about aviation and provides them an opportunity to see what an aircraft aviator does.

Famous quotes containing the words young, eagle and/or program:
“Ah, there should be a young man, ein schone Junge carrying Blumen, a bouquet of roses. There should be cold Rhine wine and Strauss waltzes, and on the long way home kisses in the shadow of an archway, like a Cinderella.”
—Laurence Stallings (1894–1968)
“O thou undaunted daughter of desires!
By all thy dower of lights and fires;
By all the eagle in thee, all the dove;
By all thy lives and deaths of love;
By thy large draughts of intellectual day,
And by thy thirsts of love more large then they;
By all thy brim-fill’d Bowls of fierce desire,
By thy last Morning’s draught of liquid fire;
By the full kingdom of that final kiss
That seiz’d thy parting Soul, and seal’d thee his;”
—Richard Crashaw (1613?–1649)
“Most of the folktales dealing with the Indians are lurid and romantic. The story of the Indian lovers who were refused permission to wed and committed suicide is common to many places. Local residents point out cliffs where Indian maidens leaped to their death until it would seem that the first duty of all Indian girls was to jump off cliffs.”
—For the State of Iowa, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
