Parent’s Harbor is dedicated to fostering a supportive environment for our cadets by ensuring events run smoothly and building a strong community among families.
Parent Committee
Parent’s Harbor is the squadron’s committee of parents and guardians working alongside the Commanding Officer to support our squadron. They coordinate activities such as squadron lunches, arrange refreshments for special events, and help plan our annual awards banquet.
We understand that time is valuable, so most volunteer work is light and flexible, with the busiest period leading up to Dining Out. It may involve occasional Zoom meetings and working with the PAO to push communications through our various channels, such as social media, emails, website, and our monthly newsletter.
Our squadron relies on parent volunteers, and we appreciate any involvement you can offer. Stay connected! Watch for emails and updates, and feel free to reach out anytime to learn how you can help. We look forward to having you join our great team of parent supporters!
Even if you can’t commit to every event, there are plenty of ways to help, from small one-time tasks to leadership roles. Your support directly contributes to the success of our cadets, and we truly appreciate every effort, big or small!
How Can I Help My Cadet Succeed?
Successful cadets thrive with the full support of their parents or guardians. Here’s how you can help:
- Ensure your cadet arrives on time and is picked up promptly from drill and other events.
- Help them stay organized by maintaining their 3-ring binder for awards, coursework, and important documents.
- Provide necessary gear and supplies for training.
- Encourage them to follow their chain of command and take initiative in their learning and advancement.
- Stay engaged—ask about upcoming drills, coursework, and their goals for training.
- Get involved! Whether by volunteering with the Parent Association or serving as an officer or instructor, your support strengthens our program.
As a nonprofit organization, we rely on parents to help support our dedicated volunteer officers and instructors. Parents are responsible for transporting their cadets to and from all unit activities and summer training. In some cases, our parent committee may assist with carpooling for off-site events.
For more information on how you can get involved, please contact LTJG Shawn Wilson, Commanding Officer.
