Mission Statement
The Tennessee Wing performs all three missions of the Civil Air Patrol: providing emergency services; offering cadet programs for youth; and providing aerospace education for both CAP members and the general public.
Description
Emergency Services:
Always prepared, both in the air and on the ground, members of Civil Air Patrol perform emergency services for state and local agencies as well as the federal government as the civilian auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force and for states/local communities as a nonprofit organization.
Cadet Programs:
Civil Air Patrol’s cadet program transforms youth into dynamic Americans and aerospace leaders through a curriculum that focuses on leadership, aerospace, fitness, and character. As cadets participate in these four elements, they advance through a series of achievements, earning honors and increased responsibilities along the way. Many of the nation’s astronauts, pilots, engineers, and scientists first explored their careers through CAP. It shapes the experiences and aspirations of youth ages 12-21, both in and outside CAP’s cadet program.
Aerospace Education:
Civil Air Patrol’s awarding-winning aerospace education program promotes aerospace, aviation, and STEM-related careers with engaging, standards-based, hands-on curriculum and activities. It provides training to the members of CAP, and also offers workshops for youth and educators across the nation through schools and at public aviation events.[4] Tennessee CAP holds annual professional development classes for teachers working with grades K-12, and also provides both published materials and STEM kits to homeschool groups.
