The Maui County Composite of the Civil Air Patrol is looking for those interested in youth services to volunteer for our amazing organization! We are a federally-chartered (like the Peace Corps) non-profit organization that specializes in Cadet (Youth) Programs, Emergency Services, and Aerospace Education!
Our World-class Youth program is designed for individuals aged 12-18 and teaches them our core values of Integrity, Respect, Excellence, and Volunteer service through classes and training in Leadership, Character Development, Aerospace Education, Physical Fitness, Emergency Services, and Volunteerism. We do this through a proven system borrowed from the United States Air Force using military ranks and progressions to move youths from followers, to group leaders, and to eventually entire squadron leadership. Our highest level of achievement meets the same standards as entry requirements into the United States Air Force Academy and can prepare young people in seeking their goals whether or not they have military ambitions.
We also have programs to allow those young men and women interested in any field of Aerospace from pilots to engineers and even information technology (cyber) and STEM as Civil Air Patrol has several award winning curricula in those fields ranging from elementary school to it's own high school textbook through generous funding and support of the Federal Government. It is the Civil Air Patrol's goal to develop and provide curricula to any and all educators as a free service to support the advancement of Aerospace and STEM in America's classrooms, going so far as providing millions of dollars in free STEM kits to educators every year.
For educators, we provide an AEM program that allows you to access those STEM kits and curricula at any time and we even provide a TOP (Teach Orientation Program) flight in our aircraft so that you can share the joys of flying with your students and get them more interested in Aerospace and STEM.
In addition to all these great programs, for adult volunteers, we offer our extensive CAP University adult training program in which you can learn and train in a wide variety of disciplines including Emergency Services (FEMA training, Aircrew Training, Ground Crew Training, etc), Communications, Leadership, Public Relations, Safety, Logistics, Operations, Finance, and many more! This is all included as a member of our organization. Those trained in certain disciplines can also be eligible to help our local and state government in providing needed services during, before, and after critical emergencies.
For more information on these great opportunities, please feel free to contact us at any time!
