Air & Space Forces Association Chapter 138

Aloha! Welcome to Chapter 138, your AFA organization in Hawai'i.

The Hawaii Air & Space Forces Association (AFA) Chapter 138 is an independent, 501(c)(3) nonprofit, civilian education organization which promotes public understanding of aerospace power. Our chapter recognizes excellence in the education and aerospace fields through different awards programs. In addition, AFA support our nation's Airmen, guardians, and their spouses and families on their missions to complete high education degrees.  The scholarships help fund college tuition, flight school, dental school, Arnold Air Society and Silver Wings, and even full rides to certain universities.  AFA also awards educator grants to promote science and math education at elementary and secondary schools.

We promote a dominant United States Air & Space Forces as the foundation of a strong national defense; to honor and support our Airmen, Guardians, and their Families; and to remember and respect our enduring Heritage.

To accomplish this, we have three mission strategic pillars:

• ADVOCATE.  Advocate and promote aerospace power to favorably shape policy and resourcing decisions to guarantee the strongest aerospace forces in the world.
• EDUCATE.  Educate the public on the critical need for unrivaled aerospace power and promote aerospace and STEM education for a technically superior and professional workforce to ensure national security.
• SUPPORT.  Support Airmen, Guardians and the Families of the Total Air Force and Space Force, including Active Duty, National Guard, Reserve, civilians, and members of the Civial Air Patrol.

Chapter 138 currently supports Hickam's PME programs, University of Hawaii AF ROTC and local high school AF Junior ROTCs, AFA CyberPatriot, and local USAF and veteran events.  As we move forward with our premier program 'Atterbury Circle Heritage Walkway on Hickam Field' we are committed to shaping that landmark into a proud commemoration of personnel and units who have made Pacific Air and Space power great.  Additionally, we will expand our educational program and strengthen our community ties with veterans organizations, the Honolulu Chamber of Commerce, and local businesses who have interest in promoting education in science and technology.

Why not join us? Mahalo to those who contributed so much in the past and welcome to those who are striving for future excellence.
