Become a Volunteer Today
Wings Foundation is proud to be a 100% volunteer-run 501(c)(3) organization. No one receives a salary. That’s how we are able to grant nearly all the money we raise to flight attendants who qualify for assistance. We are flight attendants helping flight attendants.
We are always looking for spirited volunteer flight attendants interested in helping fellow colleagues. Our volunteers come from all flight bases across the system.
