The LeRoy W. Homer Jr. Foundation is a nonprofit organization in the Airlines and Aviation sector, based in Marlton, New Jersey. Founded in 2002 in memory of LeRoy Homer, First Officer of United Airlines Flight 93, the foundation focuses on encouraging and supporting young adults pursuing professional piloting careers and raises awareness of aviation careers among disadvantaged youth. Its activities include providing scholarships—eighteen have been granted since inception—and conducting community outreach in New Jersey, where programs reach students in disadvantaged schools and aim to inspire interest in aviation. The foundation’s outreach includes initiatives like a program that engages elementary students and participation in Read Across America to promote aviation-related reading, with responses indicating continued interest from schools. The organization operates on a modest scale, with a small team, and maintains its activities and information through its website.
