Cadet Isaac Moris

“Civil Air Patrol has given me so much more than just flight hours. I’ve trained in search and rescue, become a ground team member and radio operator, led cadets at summer encampment, taught leadership at a regional academy, and learned skills in public speaking, aerospace, and service. Civil Air Patrol has shaped who I am...”

—Cadet Col. Isaac Moris, Texas Wing

What Civil Air Patrol Does

Emergency Services

We support local, state, and federal agencies with search and rescue, disaster relief, and aerial imagery—often as the first eyes in the sky when minutes matter.

Cadet Programs

Over 34,000 youth develop leadership, character, fitness, and aviation skills through hands-on training, mentorship, and real responsibility.

Aerospace & STEM Education

We deliver standards-aligned aerospace curricula, teacher resources, and STEM kits that ignite curiosity in classrooms and communities across America.

Why Your Help Is Needed

Civil Air Patrol is unique in serving as the United States Air Force Auxiliary, but we are actually a non-profit organization. To continue serving as a source for transformational growth for America's youth and aerospace education, your support makes an important difference to our mission. Make a gift and make a lasting impact.
