Civil Air Patrol develops youth through self-paced study of the art of leadership. Cadets learn how to
lead through formal classroom instructions and a laboratory of hands-on experience where they apply
leadership principles to real-world challenges within the cadet corps. Through graduated curriculum,
cadets first learn to follow, then to lead small groups, and ultimately experience command and
executive-level leadership, earning cadet grade and honors along the way. Topics include how to think
critically, communicate effectively, make decisions, motivate and manage conflict. Self-discipline and
teamwork are emphasized.
We inspire youth to value their citizenship and serve their neighbors. Cadets develop a sense of duty to
their community by contributing to CAP's real-world emergency services and humanitarian efforts.
Additionally, cadets gain an appreciation for America's role in the global aerospace community by
serving as goodwill ambassadors abroad or hosting aviation-minded your from around the world. During
visits to Washington, D.C., cadets display their respect for America and commitment to public service.
Responsible citizenship is the cornerstone of the cadet experience.
Civil Air Patrol emboldens youth, challenging them to live the cadet ethic of integrity and to embrace
timeless values. CAP develops character in youth through formal values education and informal
mentoring as moral dilemmas arise in cadets' lives. Our youth are the proud cadets of the U.S. Air Force
Auxiliary, eager to demonstrate their core values.
Cadets experience flight firsthand through the efforts of CAP adult volunteers, aviation enthusiasts
eager to share their love of flying. Often, it is through CAP that a young person receives the first flight
of his/her life. Aviation education is delivered in both the classroom and the cockpit. Cadets gain an
understanding of the complex forces that cause an aircraft to achieve lift and other fundamental topics
such as navigation, engines and aerospace history.
We also introduce youth to career opportunities in aerospace. America needs today's generation of
youth to become tomorrow's aviators, engineers, technicians, and entrepreneurs. CAP helps ensure
American aerospace supremacy by introducing cadets to aerospace careers through familiarization
courses, job shadowing and informal opportunities to interact with today's aerospace professionals.
