The value of education, hands-on experiences, and mentorship
Written by Black Hot Fire Network on April 2, 2025
Mike Jacobson is the founding director of Empowerment Through Aviation (ETA), a nonprofit organization dedicated to introducing young women from Baltimore City Public Schools to the aviation industry.
Jacobson’s role involves strategic leadership, program development, and community outreach to ensure that young people, particularly those from communities underrepresented in this field, have access to aviation education, mentorship, and career opportunities.
ETA was founded in 2020 to honor the legacy of Jacobson’s late wife, Brigitte Louise (May 3rd, 1973 - December 17th, 2019).
