During these uncertain times, how can we help?
See below to access our COVID-19 Resource Hub, and to explore our growing directory of COVID-19-specific and virtual volunteering opportunities.
Even with the Corona Virus quarantine, and squadrons meeting virtually, there are tasks you can complete to become a CAP Volunteer, let us assist you. Recently Alabama Wing has been flying Covid-19 missions and we are always looking for volunteers dedicated to providing their time to train and conduct these missions.
Do you have a desire to volunteer and serve your community a few evenings per month?
As a volunteer with the CAP you can participate in Search and Rescue missions, training exercises; and disaster relief efforts as part of the Auxiliary to the USAF. If that isn't your thing we also have opportunities in Cadet Leadership Programs, Aerospace Education, sUAS (drones), Aerial Photography, Pilot, Scanner, Observer, Logistics, Planning, Public Affairs, and Communications/Radio Operator. We have MANY opportunities to chose from.
If you’re up for the task, CAP offers ordinary citizens stimulating training opportunities few experience outside the military.
Our volunteer members train diligently to acquire the life-saving and emergency service skills necessary to assist Federal and State humanitarian agencies when disaster strikes; participate in search and rescue missions; and help keep communities safe through homeland security effort.
While the central focal point of our effort is training and preparation of aircrew for the Alabama Wing fleet, there are many roles available to non-flying members such as radio communications, logistics, planning, and mission staff participation.
