Our Mission
Aviation
Promoting aviation-focused STEM programs including remote pilot, private pilot, aviation maintenance technician, aerospace and mechanical engineering.
Business
Fostering entrepreneurship, innovation, and understanding of wealth creation concepts to better serve each other and the community we live in.
Ministry
Partnering with state and local organizations to make aviation workforce programs accessible to underserved communities in making a difference where we can.
Weekly Events
We’re passionate about putting the right kids in flight simulators, general aviation airplanes, and the controls of drones. In this pursuit, we hold weekly training events at our Tampa North Aero Park (X39) location (RSVP for address) by exposing the youth (K-12) and adults to aviation and STEM career fields (flight training, drone operation, aircraft maintenance, and repair, entrepreneurship, and aerospace engineering) through our aviation apprenticeship, internship, and workforce development programs. See us in the local news here.
Our purpose is to inspire, train, and launch the next generation of aviators, innovators, and entrepreneurs by breaking financial and systemic barriers that limit access to aviation, STEM, and business opportunities—for youth, veterans, and individuals in underserved communities. Looking ahead, our vision is to impact over 1 million lives by 2030 through hands-on aviation and aerospace training, entrepreneurship education, and workforce development initiatives—building a diverse pipeline of future pilots, engineers, and industry leaders here.
Through hands-on experiences, community partnerships, and innovative programs, iACT expands access to aviation and STEM while equipping participants to lead and innovate in global industries. Over the past five years, our CEO has secured more than $750,000 in funding and now leads the Flight Plan 2030 global outreach campaign—aimed at impacting one million lives through the Red Tail Roost Flying Aviation Tribute: Hidden Treasures Tour across local, national, and international communities here.
Regularly (Tampa North Aero Park, Wed 4pm-8pm, Sat @10-2pm or by appt Mon-Fri), our organization has group or individual aviation cadet training, meetings, facility tours, and introductory flights in our club’s simulators, drones, and aircraft. Contact us via call/text to schedule an appointment at 813-445-8889 or send an email request to info@infinityaeroclubtampa.org.
