Volunteering with the Air Cadets is a great way to spend your free time and make friends along the way! It’s also a great opportunity to give something back to your local community.
Joining our team will give you a chance to put your skills to use, no matter how diverse. All kinds of people make up our volunteer staff, coming from a range of backgrounds and interests.
Maybe you have a knowledge of the Armed Forces (although this is by no means essential); maybe you have a background in outdoor activities or sports; maybe you have some aviation knowledge; or maybe you are just keen to develop and train young people.
You’ll even get a chance to develop some new skills, specialist qualifications, and some nationally recognised qualifications along the way.
There are a number of ways in which you can help out. Click on the links below links to find out more:
