Supporting Cadets with Special Needs |
Dec 2018 |
||||
|
The Civil Air Patrol Cadet Program welcomes young people of all backgrounds and abilities in our important work. CAP's Nondiscrimination Policy makes it clear that we'll make "reasonable accommodations" for individuals, but when a prospective cadet with special needs arrives at your door it may not be clear how best to include and support them. Please join us for a discussion on what we can do to make sure that all cadets are able to participate in the full breadth of cadet life. |

Youth Development Conference - January 2022 (Virtual) |
Jan 2022 |
||||
|
The 2022 CAP Youth Development Conference will focus on cultivating cadet programs to be memorable experiences that stimulate powerful learning and growth. Many CAP activities successfully create these types of experiences; leaders can leverage the Experiential Learning Cycle and Choice Theory strategies to elevate these activities to be robust and intentional experiences for cadets to learn, reflect, and grow. Conference participants will discuss how we can elevate the culture of our home units to create environments that support positive youth development, which in-turn foster cadets' intrinsic motivations for learning and growth. We’ll examine the importance of building relationships to create positive cultures and explore how the simple habit of reflection can significantly impact youth development, elevating cadets' experiences from fun and memorable to meaningful, substantial moments of growth. Participants will further their understanding of practical methods for designing positive youth development experiences and creating cultures that encourage growth. All conference sessions were recorded and posted on the 2022 YDC Website

Be an Ally: Supporting LGBT Cadets |
|||||
|
All across America, social dynamics are changing and we’re seeing an increasing number of openly lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender cadets. Yet many adult volunteers lack experience mentoring LGBT youth and have questions on practical matters affecting their full inclusion. This session is an opportunity to ask questions, learn about best practices, and become a more effective ally for all cadets, especially LGBT cadets. |
