Writing Workshop

Engage with literature & writing in a fun and friendly atmosphere. Some of us think that writing is only for writers — but writing is for all of us.

As Julia Cameron notes in her book The Right to Write: An Invitation and Initiation into the Writing Life, “I believe we all come into life as writers.” Whether it’s poetry, songwriting, or storytelling, the freedom to express and record through written language is a powerful thing. Join us at one of our writing workshops to discover, create, and express freely on whatever platform suits you best.

Hone your skills through exposure and analysis of fictional and non-fictional literature, as well as learning grammatical tips and tricks. In past workshops, we’ve discussed Theodore Roosevelt’s “The Man in the Arena” quote, the concept of “The Road Less Traveled”, “The Rose that Grew from Concrete” by Tupac Shakur, a poem by our very own Karl Rohde, and the “Invictus” poem by William Ernest Henley.

The goal is to explore writing as a wellness tool & creative outlet. Mike adjusts each workshop to the participants each time. We hope you’ll join our next session!

American Airpower Museum and Barry Tech Prepare HS Students for Aviation Careers

Farmingdale, NY, January 8, 2024 – American Airpower Museum is partnering with the Nassau BOCES Joseph M. Barry Career and Technical Education (CTE) Center, offering internships for local high school students pursuing various careers in aviation. One example is the current internship program for Aviation Operations Teacher Evan Damadeo’s afternoon classes of graduating seniors.

Mr. Damadeo’s students intern every Thursday and Friday afternoon for a full year at American Airpower Museum (AAM) at Republic Airport. His students are responsible for maintaining the Museum’s military aircraft by cleaning and waxing them. They also learn about aircraft mechanical systems and aviation history while working at the Museum. Barry Tech’s industry partner Lawrence Starr, Museum Manager, has mentored Barry Tech high school student interns at AAM for 10 years!

Mr. Damadeo graduated with a Bachelor of Aeronautical Science Degree from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, where he obtained his Commercial Single and Multi-Engine Instrument Airplane Rating, plus a Certified Flight Instructor-Instrument while completing college. He is also Chief Flight Instructor and General Manager of a local Fixed Based Operator located on Long Island since 2015.

Shown in the attached photograph are (Left to Right) student interns Dylan McConn (Port Washington UFSD), student intern Ashton Heeralal (Valley Stream CHSD), American Airpower Museum Volunteer Steve Korin, student intern Liam Reynolds (Oceanside UFSD), and student intern Alex Rosenkrantz (East Meadow UFSD). They are standing in front of the Museum’s WWII Douglass B-25 Mitchell Bomber.

Other Barry Tech courses prepare students for the Federal Aviation Administration Private Pilot Written Exam, plus provide aircraft flight training that can be credited toward a Private Pilot License. Some students supplement their flight training at Republic Airport with private lessons enabling them to complete their first solo flight and earn their Private Pilot License while still in high school!

Barry Tech of Westbury is a CTE center for 11th and 12th grade students from Nassau schools. Aside from Aviation Operations, other internships cover Automotive Repair, Carpentry, Computers, Cosmetology, Criminal Justice, Culinary Arts, Dental Assistant, Fashion Design, HVAC/Plumbing, Law Enforcement and Nursing, among others. After a two-year internship, students receive certificates and pursue part and/or full-time jobs, or even college, based on their excellent Barry Tech educational experience.

If you are a business who would like to partner with Barry Tech, take their students as interns or hire them, please contact Lauren Engels, Work-Based Learning Coordinator, at (516) 622-6864, and/or email [email protected]. If your son/daughter is interested in attending one of Barry Tech’s career and technical education CTE programs, please have them speak with their High School Guidance Counselor for more information.

iRest Meditation

iRest is a deep meditation practice used worldwide for its positive impact on the mind and body. This practice relieves stress and pain, improves sleep, and helps reset your nervous system.

Developed by clinical psychologist Dr. Richard Miller as a meditation technique to help soldiers, veterans, and survivors of natural disasters, Integrative Restoration (later shortened to iRest) was designed to “help us to integrate emotions, thoughts, and psychology, as well as restore us to our true wellness as human beings.” (Learn more about iRest on our blog.)

Used in military and first responder settings as a top-tier approach to mental health & wellness, iRest is rapidly growing in popularity in our guardian communities. In the words of one of our GR Peer Leaders who is a trauma therapist & social worker and has worked in Law Enforcement & Fire:

“iRest is extremely helpful to relax & very beneficial as a healthy new habit. It’s worth setting aside the time — stop procrastinating & show up. This is one thing you shouldn’t wait to try.”

We hope you’ll join our next iRest Meditation with Annie:

G-Connect Experiences: Mobility for Health Workshop Level 1

Semper Stronger cofounders Joel Del Rosario (a Marine) and Rebecca Rouse are passionate about empowering guardians to build physical & mental strength so that you can overcome life’s challenges with confidence.

Mobility is about movement — specifically making sure your joints can easily move with you throughout your daily life. Think: getting up in the morning, taking a flight of stairs, picking things up off the floor — and doing it without pain or difficulty.

According to Harvard Medical School:

Mobility is the foundation for living a healthy and independent life. Mobility comprises all the skills required for everyday living: physical stamina, strength, balance, coordination, and range of motion… [it] also helps us avoid falls and prevent injuries, and allows older adults to live longer on their own. In short, mobility helps you stay “in the game.”

During this level 1 session, you will hear information about mobility & movement, the benefits, learn & try a few joint mobilizations, and receive advice on how to incorporate movement into daily life.

Get active, get moving, get healthy!
All G-Connect experiences are free but RSVP is required:

WHEN: Tuesday, January 9 @ 7:00 – 8:00 pm ET

WHERE: Zoom

Level 1 classes are intended to be done sitting in a chair (no floor-work required)

American Airpower Museum and Barry Tech Prepare HS Students for Aviation Careers

Farmingdale, NY, January 8, 2024 – American Airpower Museum is partnering with the Nassau BOCES Joseph M. Barry Career and Technical Education (CTE) Center, offering internships for local high school students pursuing various careers in aviation. One example is the current internship program for Aviation Operations Teacher Evan Damadeo’s afternoon classes of graduating seniors.

Mr. Damadeo’s students intern every Thursday and Friday afternoon for a full year at American Airpower Museum (AAM) at Republic Airport. His students are responsible for maintaining the Museum’s military aircraft by cleaning and waxing them. They also learn about aircraft mechanical systems and aviation history while working at the Museum. Barry Tech’s industry partner Lawrence Starr, Museum Manager, has mentored Barry Tech high school student interns at AAM for 10 years!

Mr. Damadeo graduated with a Bachelor of Aeronautical Science Degree from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, where he obtained his Commercial Single and Multi-Engine Instrument Airplane Rating, plus a Certified Flight Instructor-Instrument while completing college. He is also Chief Flight Instructor and General Manager of a local Fixed Based Operator located on Long Island since 2015.

They are standing in front of the Museum’s WWII Douglass B-25 Mitchell Bomber.

Other Barry Tech courses prepare students for the Federal Aviation Administration Private Pilot Written Exam, plus provide aircraft flight training that can be credited toward a Private Pilot License. Some students supplement their flight training at Republic Airport with private lessons enabling them to complete their first solo flight and earn their Private Pilot License while still in high school!

Writing Workshop

Engage with literature & writing in a fun and friendly atmosphere. Some of us think that writing is only for writers — but writing is for all of us.

As Julia Cameron notes in her book The Right to Write: An Invitation and Initiation into the Writing Life, “I believe we all come into life as writers.” Whether it’s poetry, songwriting, or storytelling, the freedom to express and record through written language is a powerful thing. Join us at one of our writing workshops to discover, create, and express freely on whatever platform suits you best.

Hone your skills through exposure and analysis of fictional and non-fictional literature, as well as learning grammatical tips and tricks. In past workshops, we’ve discussed Theodore Roosevelt’s “The Man in the Arena” quote, the concept of “The Road Less Traveled”, “The Rose that Grew from Concrete” by Tupac Shakur, a poem by our very own Karl Rohde, and the “Invictus” poem by William Ernest Henley.

The goal is to explore writing as a wellness tool & creative outlet. Mike adjusts each workshop to the participants each time. We hope you’ll join our next session!

On 1/23 NYHealth will host Veteran Suicide Prevention in New York State online at 10am EST. For more information contact [email protected] | (212) 664-7656. Or click the link below.

---

Recent findings from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) reveal an increase in veteran suicides nationwide in 2021, continuing a trend that began at the turn of the century. Although New York State, home to nearly 600,000 military veterans, has one of the lowest veteran suicide rates in the nation, suicide remains a persistent challenge. New York veterans die by suicide at a rate nearly 2x as high as civilians. Younger veterans are at especially high risk; they consistently experience the highest rates of suicide within the State.

Please join NYHealth for a conversation about trends in veteran suicide in New York and nationally; the role of firearms; and promising solutions deployed in New York State that may serve as a guide for others to replicate.

Speakers will be:

· Dr. Gabriela Khazanov, Research Psychologist, Center of Excellence for Substance Addiction Treatment and Education, Corporal Michael J. Crescenz VA Medical Center

· Stephanie Gamble, Ph.D., Director, VISN 2 Center of Excellence for Suicide Prevention, Department of Veterans Affairs, Associate Professor, Department of Psychiatry, University of Rochester Medical Center

· Marianne Goodman, M.D., Professor, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, Director, VISN 2 Mental Illness Research Education Clinical Center (MIRECC)

Mobility for Health Workshop Level 2

Semper Stronger cofounders Joel Del Rosario (a Marine) and Rebecca Rouse are passionate about empowering guardians to build physical & mental strength so that you can overcome life’s challenges with confidence.

Not just flexibility, mobility is about your capacity for movement. It is critical for proprioception, or your “underlying self-regulation of posture and movement through stimuli originating in sensory receptors embedded in joints, tendons, muscles, and the labyrinth of the ear.” (Science Direct) So even strong, fit athletes benefit from investing in their mobility — don’t miss this chance to improve your performance in and out of the gym.

This invigorating Level 2 Mobility Class will challenge and refine your movement abilities through a combination of standing and floor-based exercises.

Get active, get moving, get healthy!
All G-Connect experiences are free but RSVP is required:

• WHEN: Tuesday, January 23 @ 7:00 – 8:00 PM ET


• WHERE: Zoom

LEVEL 2 RSVP

American Airpower Museum and Barry Tech Prepare HS Students for Aviation Careers

Farmingdale, NY, January 8, 2024 – American Airpower Museum is partnering with the Nassau BOCES Joseph M. Barry Career and Technical Education (CTE) Center, offering internships for local high school students pursuing various careers in aviation. One example is the current internship program for Aviation Operations Teacher Evan Damadeo’s afternoon classes of graduating seniors.

Mr. Damadeo’s students intern every Thursday and Friday afternoon for a full year at American Airpower Museum (AAM) at Republic Airport. His students are responsible for maintaining the Museum’s military aircraft by cleaning and waxing them. They also learn about aircraft mechanical systems and aviation history while working at the Museum. Barry Tech’s industry partner Lawrence Starr, Museum Manager, has mentored Barry Tech high school student interns at AAM for 10 years!

Mr. Damadeo graduated with a Bachelor of Aeronautical Science Degree from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, where he obtained his Commercial Single and Multi-Engine Instrument Airplane Rating, plus a Certified Flight Instructor-Instrument while completing college. He is also Chief Flight Instructor and General Manager of a local Fixed Based Operator located on Long Island since 2015.

Shown in the attached photograph are (Left to Right) student interns Dylan McConn (Port Washington UFSD), student intern Ashton Heeralal (Valley Stream CHSD), American Airpower Museum Volunteer Steve Korin, student intern Liam Reynolds (Oceanside UFSD), and student intern Alex Rosenkrantz (East Meadow UFSD). They are standing in front of the Museum’s WWII Douglass B-25 Mitchell Bomber.

Other Barry Tech courses prepare students for the Federal Aviation Administration Private Pilot Written Exam, plus provide aircraft flight training that can be credited toward a Private Pilot License. Some students supplement their flight training at Republic Airport with private lessons enabling them to complete their first solo flight and earn their Private Pilot License while still in high school!

Barry Tech of Westbury is a CTE center for 11th and 12th grade students from Nassau schools. Aside from Aviation Operations, other internships cover Automotive Repair, Carpentry, Computers, Cosmetology, Criminal Justice, Culinary Arts, Dental Assistant, Fashion Design, HVAC/Plumbing, Law Enforcement and Nursing, among others. After a two-year internship, students receive certificates and pursue part and/or full-time jobs, or even college, based on their excellent Barry Tech educational experience.

If you are a business who would like to partner with Barry Tech, take their students as interns or hire them, please contact Lauren Engels, Work-Based Learning Coordinator, at (516) 622-6864, and/or email [email protected]. If your son/daughter is interested in attending one of Barry Tech’s career and technical education CTE programs, please have them speak with their High School Guidance Counselor for more information.

iRest Meditation

iRest is a deep meditation practice used worldwide for its positive impact on the mind and body. This practice relieves stress and pain, improves sleep, and helps reset your nervous system.

Developed by clinical psychologist Dr. Richard Miller as a meditation technique to help soldiers, veterans, and survivors of natural disasters, Integrative Restoration (later shortened to iRest) was designed to “help us to integrate emotions, thoughts, and psychology, as well as restore us to our true wellness as human beings.” (Learn more about iRest on our blog.)

Used in military and first responder settings as a top-tier approach to mental health & wellness, iRest is rapidly growing in popularity in our guardian communities. In the words of one of our GR Peer Leaders who is a trauma therapist & social worker and has worked in Law Enforcement & Fire:

“iRest is extremely helpful to relax & very beneficial as a healthy new habit. It’s worth setting aside the time — stop procrastinating & show up. This is one thing you shouldn’t wait to try.”

We hope you’ll join our next iRest Meditation with Annie:

WHEN: Monday, January 29 @ 7:30 pm ET

WHERE: Zoom

Note:

Participate with your camera on or off

Be comfortable — seated in a chair, laying in bed, or on the floor

On 1/309 The Rockland County Joseph P. Dwyer Veteran Peer Support Program will host Frontline Paper Workshop at 9am EST in Bear Mountain, NY. For more information contact Izzy Quintana, [email protected] | 845-587-6497.

---

The Rockland County Joseph P. Dwyer Veteran Peer Support Program invites you to our FRONTLINE PAPER WORKSHOP scheduled for Tuesday, January 30th. During this day-long workshop, FrontLine Arts Instructors will guide and facilitate us as we go through the transformative process of making handmade paper from military uniforms. Please see attached flyer if interested in attending the event. It has other detailed information including POC and further information.

WHAT IS FRONTLINE ARTSPAPER ? A therapeutic process for Veterans that tend to suppress the experiences they had while serving their country during their military service. It provides a forum through a series of workshops where service members gather to sit, talk and share their stories in their own “lingo” while a transformative process of making handmade paper from military uniforms takes place. Creating this unique paper starts with the DECONSTRUCTION of uniforms which also deconstructs the memories associated with the uniform (dirt, blood sweat and tears). Service members then RECLAIM and RECONSTRUCT these memories by cutting their uniform into tiny pieces the size of a postage stamp by making it into something different(paper). These cut pieces are then beaten into a pulp using specifically designed papermaking equipment, creating a slurry of fibers and water. Sheets of paper are then pulled from the pulp and dried to create “ FRONTLINE ARTS PAPER “.

The Last phase to the process is to COMMUNICATE. This is where veterans use the dried sheets as a platform to be expressive and tell their stories. Through Instructional periods, veterans integrate drawing, printmaking, and/or written words into their combat paper using various techniques. Each FrontLine paper artwork tells a story and creates something that is meaningful. The process of peer supported community-based art engages all participants and sparks a dialogue of the raw realities of what it means to serve in the military, and live through the aftermath.

On 1/30 Guardian Revival will host Jams: Beacon at 6pm EST in Beacon NY. For more information contact Elena Leonard, [email protected] | (914) 538-0553 or click the link below.

American Airpower Museum and Barry Tech Prepare HS Students for Aviation Careers

Farmingdale, NY, January 8, 2024 – American Airpower Museum is partnering with the Nassau BOCES Joseph M. Barry Career and Technical Education (CTE) Center, offering internships for local high school students pursuing various careers in aviation. One example is the current internship program for Aviation Operations Teacher Evan Damadeo’s afternoon classes of graduating seniors.

Mr. Damadeo’s students intern every Thursday and Friday afternoon for a full year at American Airpower Museum (AAM) at Republic Airport. His students are responsible for maintaining the Museum’s military aircraft by cleaning and waxing them. They also learn about aircraft mechanical systems and aviation history while working at the Museum. Barry Tech’s industry partner Lawrence Starr, Museum Manager, has mentored Barry Tech high school student interns at AAM for 10 years!

Mr. Damadeo graduated with a Bachelor of Aeronautical Science Degree from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, where he obtained his Commercial Single and Multi-Engine Instrument Airplane Rating, plus a Certified Flight Instructor-Instrument while completing college. He is also Chief Flight Instructor and General Manager of a local Fixed Based Operator located on Long Island since 2015.

Shown in the attached photograph are (Left to Right) student interns Dylan McConn (Port Washington UFSD), student intern Ashton Heeralal (Valley Stream CHSD), American Airpower Museum Volunteer Steve Korin, student intern Liam Reynolds (Oceanside UFSD), and student intern Alex Rosenkrantz (East Meadow UFSD). They are standing in front of the Museum’s WWII Douglass B-25 Mitchell Bomber.

Other Barry Tech courses prepare students for the Federal Aviation Administration Private Pilot Written Exam, plus provide aircraft flight training that can be credited toward a Private Pilot License. Some students supplement their flight training at Republic Airport with private lessons enabling them to complete their first solo flight and earn their Private Pilot License while still in high school!

Barry Tech of Westbury is a CTE center for 11th and 12th grade students from Nassau schools. Aside from Aviation Operations, other internships cover Automotive Repair, Carpentry, Computers, Cosmetology, Criminal Justice, Culinary Arts, Dental Assistant, Fashion Design, HVAC/Plumbing, Law Enforcement and Nursing, among others. After a two-year internship, students receive certificates and pursue part and/or full-time jobs, or even college, based on their excellent Barry Tech educational experience.

If you are a business who would like to partner with Barry Tech, take their students as interns or hire them, please contact Lauren Engels, Work-Based Learning Coordinator, at (516) 622-6864, and/or email [email protected]. If your son/daughter is interested in attending one of Barry Tech’s career and technical education CTE programs, please have them speak with their High School Guidance Counselor for more information.

American Airpower Museum and Barry Tech Prepare HS Students for Aviation Careers

Farmingdale, NY, January 8, 2024 – American Airpower Museum is partnering with the Nassau BOCES Joseph M. Barry Career and Technical Education (CTE) Center, offering internships for local high school students pursuing various careers in aviation. One example is the current internship program for Aviation Operations Teacher Evan Damadeo’s afternoon classes of graduating seniors.

Mr. Damadeo’s students intern every Thursday and Friday afternoon for a full year at American Airpower Museum (AAM) at Republic Airport. His students are responsible for maintaining the Museum’s military aircraft by cleaning and waxing them. They also learn about aircraft mechanical systems and aviation history while working at the Museum. Barry Tech’s industry partner Lawrence Starr, Museum Manager, has mentored Barry Tech high school student interns at AAM for 10 years!

Mr. Damadeo graduated with a Bachelor of Aeronautical Science Degree from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, where he obtained his Commercial Single and Multi-Engine Instrument Airplane Rating, plus a Certified Flight Instructor-Instrument while completing college. He is also Chief Flight Instructor and General Manager of a local Fixed Based Operator located on Long Island since 2015.

Shown in the attached photograph are (Left to Right) student interns Dylan McConn (Port Washington UFSD), student intern Ashton Heeralal (Valley Stream CHSD), American Airpower Museum Volunteer Steve Korin, student intern Liam Reynolds (Oceanside UFSD), and student intern Alex Rosenkrantz (East Meadow UFSD). They are standing in front of the Museum’s WWII Douglass B-25 Mitchell Bomber.

Other Barry Tech courses prepare students for the Federal Aviation Administration Private Pilot Written Exam, plus provide aircraft flight training that can be credited toward a Private Pilot License. Some students supplement their flight training at Republic Airport with private lessons enabling them to complete their first solo flight and earn their Private Pilot License while still in high school!

Barry Tech of Westbury is a CTE center for 11th and 12th grade students from Nassau schools. Aside from Aviation Operations, other internships cover Automotive Repair, Carpentry, Computers, Cosmetology, Criminal Justice, Culinary Arts, Dental Assistant, Fashion Design, HVAC/Plumbing, Law Enforcement and Nursing, among others. After a two-year internship, students receive certificates and pursue part and/or full-time jobs, or even college, based on their excellent Barry Tech educational experience.

If you are a business who would like to partner with Barry Tech, take their students as interns or hire them, please contact Lauren Engels, Work-Based Learning Coordinator, at (516) 622-6864, and/or email [email protected]. If your son/daughter is interested in attending one of Barry Tech’s career and technical education CTE programs, please have them speak with their High School Guidance Counselor for more information.

American Airpower Museum and Barry Tech Prepare HS Students for Aviation Careers

Farmingdale, NY, January 8, 2024 – American Airpower Museum is partnering with the Nassau BOCES Joseph M. Barry Career and Technical Education (CTE) Center, offering internships for local high school students pursuing various careers in aviation. One example is the current internship program for Aviation Operations Teacher Evan Damadeo’s afternoon classes of graduating seniors.

Mr. Damadeo’s students intern every Thursday and Friday afternoon for a full year at American Airpower Museum (AAM) at Republic Airport. His students are responsible for maintaining the Museum’s military aircraft by cleaning and waxing them. They also learn about aircraft mechanical systems and aviation history while working at the Museum. Barry Tech’s industry partner Lawrence Starr, Museum Manager, has mentored Barry Tech high school student interns at AAM for 10 years!

Mr. Damadeo graduated with a Bachelor of Aeronautical Science Degree from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, where he obtained his Commercial Single and Multi-Engine Instrument Airplane Rating, plus a Certified Flight Instructor-Instrument while completing college. He is also Chief Flight Instructor and General Manager of a local Fixed Based Operator located on Long Island since 2015.

Shown in the attached photograph are (Left to Right) student interns Dylan McConn (Port Washington UFSD), student intern Ashton Heeralal (Valley Stream CHSD), American Airpower Museum Volunteer Steve Korin, student intern Liam Reynolds (Oceanside UFSD), and student intern Alex Rosenkrantz (East Meadow UFSD). They are standing in front of the Museum’s WWII Douglass B-25 Mitchell Bomber.

Other Barry Tech courses prepare students for the Federal Aviation Administration Private Pilot Written Exam, plus provide aircraft flight training that can be credited toward a Private Pilot License. Some students supplement their flight training at Republic Airport with private lessons enabling them to complete their first solo flight and earn their Private Pilot License while still in high school!

Barry Tech of Westbury is a CTE center for 11th and 12th grade students from Nassau schools. Aside from Aviation Operations, other internships cover Automotive Repair, Carpentry, Computers, Cosmetology, Criminal Justice, Culinary Arts, Dental Assistant, Fashion Design, HVAC/Plumbing, Law Enforcement and Nursing, among others. After a two-year internship, students receive certificates and pursue part and/or full-time jobs, or even college, based on their excellent Barry Tech educational experience.

If you are a business who would like to partner with Barry Tech, take their students as interns or hire them, please contact Lauren Engels, Work-Based Learning Coordinator, at (516) 622-6864, and/or email [email protected]. If your son/daughter is interested in attending one of Barry Tech’s career and technical education CTE programs, please have them speak with their High School Guidance Counselor for more information.

American Airpower Museum and Barry Tech Prepare HS Students for Aviation Careers

Farmingdale, NY, January 8, 2024 – American Airpower Museum is partnering with the Nassau BOCES Joseph M. Barry Career and Technical Education (CTE) Center, offering internships for local high school students pursuing various careers in aviation. One example is the current internship program for Aviation Operations Teacher Evan Damadeo’s afternoon classes of graduating seniors.

Mr. Damadeo’s students intern every Thursday and Friday afternoon for a full year at American Airpower Museum (AAM) at Republic Airport. His students are responsible for maintaining the Museum’s military aircraft by cleaning and waxing them. They also learn about aircraft mechanical systems and aviation history while working at the Museum. Barry Tech’s industry partner Lawrence Starr, Museum Manager, has mentored Barry Tech high school student interns at AAM for 10 years!

Mr. Damadeo graduated with a Bachelor of Aeronautical Science Degree from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, where he obtained his Commercial Single and Multi-Engine Instrument Airplane Rating, plus a Certified Flight Instructor-Instrument while completing college. He is also Chief Flight Instructor and General Manager of a local Fixed Based Operator located on Long Island since 2015.

Shown in the attached photograph are (Left to Right) student interns Dylan McConn (Port Washington UFSD), student intern Ashton Heeralal (Valley Stream CHSD), American Airpower Museum Volunteer Steve Korin, student intern Liam Reynolds (Oceanside UFSD), and student intern Alex Rosenkrantz (East Meadow UFSD). They are standing in front of the Museum’s WWII Douglass B-25 Mitchell Bomber.

Other Barry Tech courses prepare students for the Federal Aviation Administration Private Pilot Written Exam, plus provide aircraft flight training that can be credited toward a Private Pilot License. Some students supplement their flight training at Republic Airport with private lessons enabling them to complete their first solo flight and earn their Private Pilot License while still in high school!

Barry Tech of Westbury is a CTE center for 11th and 12th grade students from Nassau schools. Aside from Aviation Operations, other internships cover Automotive Repair, Carpentry, Computers, Cosmetology, Criminal Justice, Culinary Arts, Dental Assistant, Fashion Design, HVAC/Plumbing, Law Enforcement and Nursing, among others. After a two-year internship, students receive certificates and pursue part and/or full-time jobs, or even college, based on their excellent Barry Tech educational experience.

If you are a business who would like to partner with Barry Tech, take their students as interns or hire them, please contact Lauren Engels, Work-Based Learning Coordinator, at (516) 622-6864, and/or email [email protected].
