Community Involvement

NVRC is actively involved in giving back to the community.  The club hosts an open house each year, County appreciation day, fun fly events, contests and more.  The club also sponsors activities associated with aviation at Westfield High School, Chantilly High School, Thomas Jefferson High School, West Potomac High School, and George Washington University.  Club members also volunteer at local aviation events including the annual Air & Scare and Become A Pilot day held at the Udvar Hazy Smithsonian Museum, Dulles Plane Pull and local air shows.
