Emergency Services Education and Community Service
Are you interested in aviation and space? Do you want to get involved in search and rescue, disaster relief, and other humanitarian services? Would you like to develop leadership skills and serve your community? If so, then you may want to join the Civil Air Patrol!
Civil Air Patrol serves the country and community through its three missions of emergency services, aerospace education, and its cadet program.
Although closely associated with the United States Air Force, there is no military obligation as a member of Civil Air Patrol. All services are strictly voluntary. Members are eligible to wear a uniform similar to the Air Force uniform.
You do not have to be a pilot or own an airplane to become a member of Civil Air Patrol. We have a place for you: search and rescue mission observer, communications specialist, media relations officer, personnel officer, teacher, and many, many, more possibilities.
