HUMAN TRAFFICKING AWARENESS PROGRAM

AAI members ADVOCATE for child protection by providing trainings on human trafficking awareness. Through our pioneering Human Trafficking Awareness initiatives, AAI trains aviation professionals to recognize and intervene in human trafficking situations.

At Airline Ambassadors International (AAI), we believe every child deserves the chance to thrive, no matter where they are in the world. Founded in 1996 by American Airlines flight attendant Nancy Rivard, AAI transforms the unique resources of the airline industry into meaningful opportunities to protect, uplift, and empower vulnerable children globally.

What began as a grassroots effort among airline employees has grown into an internationally recognized nonprofit, affiliated with the United Nations and honored by the U.S. Congress for its humanitarian work. Today, AAI’s mission reaches across 52 countries, bridging compassionate travelers with communities in need.

The  501(c)3 non-profit organization began with airline employees to help children as “Ambassadors of Goodwill” in their home communities and abroad. AAI provides a way for members to share their unique skills and talents to bring compassion into action.
