TEACHERS - Put Civil Air Patrol to Work Inside Your Classrooms
CAP has a special Aerospace Education Membership program just for teachers. With CAP’s free curricula and classroom materials, you can introduce the wonders of space and aviation into many different subject areas. Our hands-on exercises and national standards-based materials and textbooks will hold the interest of your hard-to-motivate students,
and take your achievers to even higher levels.
As a teacher, you can also benefit from CAP by introducing your older students to the CAP cadet program. This multi-step training gives young men and women a chance to do meaningful volunteer work while developing valuable leadership and technical skills, physical fitness, personal responsibility and moral values. Cadets also have a chance to learn about aviation and space, as well as military history and customs. CAP cadet training can help your students become more disciplined and motivated to excel.
BECOME A CORPORATE PARTNER
During a critical time in our nation’s history, during World War II, corporate America stood up and supported a war against evil. Today, like then, support from corporate America is badly needed to help fight new wars against evil – in particular, America’s war against terrorism and the nation’s war on drugs.
The Civil Air Patrol is seeking to team with Corporate Partners who can:
1. Help create a greater awareness of America’s Air Force
Auxiliary and its missions through:
a) Corporate advertising, marketing and public relations
initiatives;
b) Corporate Partner public service advertising (PSA); and
c) Outreach to the Corporate Partner’s own employee base.
2. Offer Financial Assistance:
a) To support the current and growing volunteer base;
b) To fund missions that Civil Air Patrol is unable to perform
due to lack of sufficient funds; and
c) To provide these volunteers with the technology needed
to perform these missions more effectively.
PILOTS - Serve Your Community Doing What You Love
CLERGY - A Tradition of Serving in CAP
PARENTS - Get Involved - Become a member
Parents are welcome to participate in CAP. No prior military service or special skills are required. Whether you become a cadet sponsor member and want to help chaperone cadets once in a while or become a full-fledged senior member active in CAP missions, we would love to have you get involved in CAP.
CAP cadets receive moral leadership training as part of their educational program. CAP chaplains play an important role in this process, providing private counseling and moral leadership guidance to our young people. Through individual courses and regional colleges, CAP offers its chaplains training in all aspects of volunteer service, from conducting military funerals to pastoral counseling.
To become a CAP chaplain, you must be a fully qualified member of the clergy of your religious group with the appropriate educational background. Our chaplains come from all religious faith groups and include priests, ministers, rabbis, elders and imams. You must be qualified spiritually, morally, intellectually and emotionally to serve as a volunteer chaplain.
If you’re a pilot, or you’d like to be, CAP has plenty of opportunities tailor-made for you. CAP owns the largest fleet of single-engine piston aircraft in the nation, and CAP pilots are able to fly those planes to perform CAP missions in service to their local communities.
