We are an organisation run by volunteers who are dedicated to inspiring, informing, and educating women and girls about aviation careers. We run events, webinars and provide free resources for schools and have an online membership which is free of charge for life!
We believe that everyone should have access to information on careers, and to a community who will support them throughout their aviation journey. Our ultimate goal is for there to be a more diverse workforce in all aviation careers. Diversity creates innovation, and through innovation the aviation industry will continue to adapt and thrive.
Elevate(her) was launched in May 2023 by Founder Katherine Moloney. Katherine holds a private pilots licence for helicopter and fixed wing aircraft, and during her training she never met another female pilot, instructor or examiner! this is not unusual as female pilots still only make up 4.7% of pilots in the UK.
With many women in aviation spread out across the country, it can feel lonely at times whether you are learning to fly, or working in the industry.
Katherine was determined to create a space where women in aviation can feel connected, inspired, encouraged and challenged. Elevate(her) now has an incredible team of passionate, and talented female aviators that work to advance the Elevate(her) mission.
Elevate(her) online resource platform contains pages to help:
Inform potential female pilots, and women in aviation of scholarship and work opportunities available. It can be hard to find this information across all of the different organisations! So Elevate(her) collects as many opportunities as possible in one place.
Educate, by providing a list of flight training operations; as finding the right flight school for you is a key part of your aviation journey, as well as pages to assist with career guidance, aptitude testing and more!
Inspire, by sharing content created by women in aviation who inspire and encourage us to challenge ourselves. This is a really positive aspect of social media! - “you can’t be, what you can’t see!”
Support and empower women in aviation through our events, and online community.
Connect women in aviation through the annual Elevate(her) networking event, and mini social events. Which has gone from strength, to strength and will continue to connect more and more women from all areas of the aviation industry, globally.
