Empowering Women.
Inspiring Future Flyers.
SkyDreamers Foundation helps women and young dreamers take their first step into aviation through mentorship, discovery flights, financial support and transformative learning experiences.
We support women and young dreamers on their path to the sky.
SkyDreamers Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to opening the sky to those who have never imagined it could belong to them.
Founded by pilot and former investor Lin (Ellen) Liu, SkyDreamers empowers women exploring aviation, career-changers and underrepresented communities, and students discovering flight for the first time.
We believe aviation becomes stronger when its people come from everywhere.

“Growing up, I never saw a pilot who looked like me. SkyDreamers changed that. They didn't just show me the plane; they showed me that I belonged in the left seat.”
“Yesterday was an amazing experience with the SkyDreamers Foundation Ground Lesson Program! Though I am an instrument rated private pilot, I am actively working towards my commercial license, and getting refreshers on things such as aircraft systems, which we discussed yesterday, was a great opportunity. Kayla is an amazing soon to be CFI, who is very passionate about her career and airplanes, and you can tell in the way she teaches that she loves what she does. I would highly recommend anyone who is either currently training or even has a small interest in aviation to come attend a free ground lesson! Thank you for the opportunity!”
