Civil Air Patrol Offers Volunteer OpportunitiesCivil Air Patrol has many volunteer opportunities in which you can choose to participate as a "civilian" volunteer: Aerospace Education - Emergency Services - and helping to train today's young people.

As such, we are afforded the privilege of wearing the U.S. Air Force uniform (but with distinctive insignia changes).
