We should have a thread dedicated to the discussion of opportunities for using aviation to improve the lives of others in need. Here are a few organizations that I know of:

http://www.youngeagles.org/

I hope to spend a year or two flying in a foreign land, volunteering my time and resource to help improve the lives of people less fortunate.

Where else are light general aviation aircraft being used charitably? Anyone have experience using their skills or crafts for charitable work?

I too, have the idea in the back of my mind of flying for a charitable organization in the future. I would be interested in any feedback from the group with experience.

http://www.bahamashabitat.org/ looks worthy and did many flights into Haiti after the earthquake.

http://www.aircareall.org/listings.htm contains a listing of organizations.

Here is a good one http://www.gospelministry.org/aviation-projects/ they have many other programs too.

Wings for Christ out of Waco Tx has been around for many years. They have trained many missionary pilots. They have a Cessna 150, a 172, and a Mooney. They are located on a beautiful 3000' grass strip NE of Waco. Check out their website at "wings-for-christ.org" this is a great place to start if you are a beginning pilot being led to the mission field.
