CAVU was founded in Central America by David and Jordan Smith in 2004. Leveraging our unique combination of tools: flight, film and education, CAVU empowers people to take meaningful action on critical conservation and social justice issues in their own communities.

Transform Climate Anxiety into Climate Action

Your Gift Makes a Difference

When you support CAVU, you’re not just funding a program—you’re investing in a generation of young people who refuse to accept that their future is frightening.

Every dollar directly translates into hope, skills, and agency for students who will inherit the climate crisis we’re creating today.
