Emergency services Members of Civil Air Patrol (CAP) perform emergency services for state and local agencies as well as the federal government as the civilian auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force and for states/local communities as a nonprofit organization. CAP members assist in times of disaster, search for the lost, and protect the homeland. CAP also provides aid during humanitarian aid and disaster relief missions. CAP offers Air Force support through the conducting of light transport, communications support, and low-altitude route surveys.
Cadet Programs Civil Air Patrol's cadet program transforms youth into dynamic Americans and aerospace leaders through a curriculum that focuses on leadership, aerospace, fitness, and character. As cadets participate in these four elements, they advance through a series of achievements, earning honors and increased responsibilities along the way. Many of the nation's astronauts, pilots, engineers, and scientists first explored their careers through CAP.
Aerospace Education Civil Air Patrol's awarding-winning aerospace education program promotes aerospace, aviation, and STEM-related careers with engaging, standards-based, hands-on curriculum and activities. It shapes the experiences and aspirations of youth both in and outside CAP's cadet program.
