Tour - Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF), Nampa

Join us for a 1 - 1.5 hour tour of the US Headquarters of Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF) in Nampa. The tour will include a history of the organization and the challenges of flying in isolated regions. We will walk through the two buildings that include aviation training (7 airplanes, 2 simulators) for backcountry airstrips in Idaho’s mountains, along with private airstrips. Fleet maintenance and repairs also take place at headquarters. Various administrative tasks, such as human resources, finance, recruitment, donor services, staff support, and marketing are also managed from the MAF campus. Volunteer opportunities will be discussed. Read more about the tour on their website.

There is no limit to the number of attendees for this tour. Attendees will be broken up into groups of 10 with their own guide.

BACKGROUND
Millions of people around the world live cut off from all this and more by either geographic barriers—like jungles, mountains, and deserts—or by social, political, or religious barriers. All that changed over 75 years ago when MAF was established after a few veteran pilots in the US and UK dreamed of a way they could use their flying skills to reach isolated people.

Each year, MAF provides aviation services to more than 400 mission agencies, churches, and humanitarian organizations around the world in 12 countries. Through these partnerships, MAF connects isolated people with vital services and goods.
