Youth Volunteer Connect / Drone Program
Aerial Photography
U+ Aerial Drone Photography gives youth ages 12–30 the opportunity to learn how to safely fly and operate drones while developing practical aerial photography and video skills. Through hands-on training, participants gain real-world experience and earn volunteer hours while building skills they can continue to use in future volunteer projects. Eligible pathways also lead to drone certification.
