Community Aviation Service

Join Your Local Civil Air Patrol

Civil Air Patrol has volunteer opportunities for people from all backgrounds and ages, from 12 up.

You don’t need to be a pilot or a member of the armed forces (though pilots and veterans are absolutely welcomed to share their experience).

CAP volunteers can be teachers, medical professionals, public employees, engineers, machinists, truck drivers, business people, and really anybody over the age of 12.

Three Core Pillars

How Our Volunteers Serve

Every squadron combines practical STEM education, community emergency readiness, and youth mentorship into vital civic service.

Cadet Programs

Emergency Services

Aerospace Education

Youth ages 12 to 20 learn aerospace fundamentals, leadership discipline, physical fitness, and character development under experienced squadron officer guidance.

Trained volunteer crews support aerial search and rescue, disaster reconnaissance, humanitarian supply distribution, and local emergency radio operations.

Hands-on STEM workshops, rocketry projects, and flight simulators inspire classrooms and communities across the region to discover modern aviation.

A Place for Everyone

Skills Built from Every Background

You do not need flight credentials to make an immediate impact. Squadrons rely on logisticians, communicators, educators, and community organizers working together.

Whether mentoring a cadet squad, maintaining essential field equipment, or managing squadron administration, your time directly strengthens local community preparedness.
