What they do
Cadet programs: the cap cadet program transforms youth aged 12 to 20 into responsible citizens and aerospace leaders. cadets develop leadership skills, explore career opportunities in aerospace and cyber, become physically fit, and embrace a set of lifelong core values through service learning projects, mentoring opportunities, and high adventure activities, such as opportunities to fly powered aircraft and gliders, making the program exciting and motivating the youth to excel academically and as young adults. the cadet experience challenges and inspires youth unlike anything available through school, sports, or clubs. today's cadets are tomorrow's aerospace leaders.
Aerospace education and training: cap's aerospace education programs and resource materials, emphasizing the stem subjects of science, technology, engineering, and math, were used by students and teachers nationwide. new stem kits, to include robotics, remote-controlled aircraft, flight simulators, astronomy, weather stations, rockets, quad copters, and hydraulic engineering were developed to expand cap members' knowledge of stem-related areas. cap offers educators a special aerospace education membership (aem) that includes access to over 35 educational products, orientation flights, grants, awards, and professional development. cap aems flew in orientation flights to learn first-hand about the flight principles and career opportunities, and to share with students in their classrooms and youth development programs. the unique "aerospace connections in education" (ace) program for grades k-6 impacted students across the country and is introducing aerospace and stem to young students.
Communications: cap maintains an extensive emergency communications network including vhf land mobile radios supported by repeaters and hf radios which are infrastructure independent. this system is designed to be secure, survivable yet interoperable with the dod and other federal, state, and local agencies, thereby ensuring messages can be successfully relayed during crisis situations. cap has made a strong effort to rebuild our hf radio network over the last few years so that our incident command posts and ground teams are not limited during natural disasters where cell phone and other commercial communications resources are damaged or overloaded.
