An affiliate of the UN, Airline Ambassadors International is a unique charity in that it began as a "network of airline employees using their pass privileges to help others" and now is made up of volunteers that work as "Ambassadors of Goodwill" in their home communities and abroad. This group of high-fliers provides "humanitarian aid to children and families in need as well as relief and development to under-privileged communities worldwide."
