Our Mission
Girls Who Drone is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that inspires, educates and empowers youth to discover rewarding careers using drone technology. Whether they aspire to become remote pilots or pursue other roles within various industries using drones, we're committed to introducing them to this dynamic technology through inspiring stories, comprehensive education and empowering them to thrive in this ever-expanding field.
Why It Matters
The global market for drone business services is poised to surpass a staggering $127 billion, and it's important to note that these numbers have continued to grow since our last update.
However, with women comprising less than 8% of the current licensed drone pilot population, it is paramount that we introduce this rapidly expanding technology to more women and girls worldwide. Drones have firmly established their presence, and we are unwavering in our commitment to ensure that women and girls remain at the forefront of this growing technology
While we strive to inspire and educate individuals of all genders, our passion lies in advocating for women by offering inspiration, education, and promising career opportunities within this thriving field.
Join us in our mission to expand the representation of women and girls across the breadth of industries using drone technology for different use cases.
