The CAP cadet program is for youth age 12-18 with leadership training, aerospace education - including flying, character development and more ! CAP is not a military recruiting program. However, cadets who choose to pursue military careers will benefit from CAP experience.

CAP also has opportunities for adults ! Adult members have a wide variety of jobs to specialize in. Some serve as instructors and mentors to cadets, others serve as pilots, radio operators, Chaplains, public affairs officers, legal officers, information technology specialists, etc. There is a niche for just about anyone who is willing to volunteer their time and serve their community as a CAP member. All adult members must pass a FBI background check as part of the application process to ensure the safety of all of our members.

Educators can join as an Aerospace Education Member (AEM) and enjoy many free aerospace educational opportunities ranging from receiving lesson plans to participating in a teacher orientation flight aboard one of our Cessna aircraft. This unique membership category is designed for educators or others involved in promoting aerospace education in classrooms, museums, or other youth organizations.
