Join us as an Adult Volunteer

Over 20? Seeking a new challenge? Would you like to develop new skills, leadership qualities and gain some qualifications too?

What do I need?

If you’re over 20, you can volunteer. That’s it. There's no need for military experience or any form of previous training - we’ll take care of that. We’re just looking for suitable, enthusiastic individuals to help our cadets get the most from their time with us.

The benefits of being a part of the Royal Air Force Air Cadets are the same for the volunteers as for cadets - the opportunity to do lots of exciting activities and develop personal skills. As a volunteer, this is all free to you!

All kinds of people make up our volunteer staff, coming from a range of backgrounds and interests. Obviously, if you have direct experience of working with young people, or any relevant skills such as flying or gliding, you would be particularly welcome. These aren’t essential though, as we will train and support you at every stage.

What’s in it for me?

Brand new opportunities, friends for life and real life qualifications, to name a few. It’s not just the cadets we like to see excel. We lead by example, and only by having fully trained, qualified and capable staff can we encourage confident, enthusiastic cadets. We supply all the training you’ll need for the activities you’ll assist with or lead.

Your role is vital to the success of our cadets - but it’s not just the cadets that benefit. You’ll get involved in many squadron activities and have the same kind of opportunities as our cadets to develop your leadership skills and gain qualifications in things like mountain leadership, First Aid and NVQs. You’ll have as much fun as the cadets do! Our volunteers say they gain a huge sense of achievement from helping young people realise their potential. Why not give it a try?
