Together, we support, encourage, and celebrate our cadets as they grow into future leaders.
Uniformed Adult Leaders
We are always looking for uniformed adult leaders to join our team. There are two ways to join as an adult leader: uniformed staff and auxiliary staff. Uniformed staff usually take on regular roles and responsibilities within the unit, whereas auxiliary staff are flexible and provide additional support when needed.
Basic Requirements:
- Application — Must complete an online application, as well as complete medical history information.
- Citizenship — Must be a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident.
- Background Check – Must pass a background check, including fingerprinting, for working with youth.
- Commitment – Must be willing to support the program, with full officers expected to meat the same 75% commitment as cadets, though auxiliary officers typically have more flexibility.
- Training – Must complete Darkness to Light courses every year.
- Uniform — Eligible to wear the military-style uniform after completing one full year.
The enrollment fee for adult leaders is $45.00. Please reach out to the recruiting officer, ENS Lisa Anderson, with interest in joining, and she will send you an email link to apply.
Special Guests
Do you have a special talent or skill you’d like to share? Each month, we offer cadets unique training opportunities that introduce them to military-related jobs and skills. We are always looking for experts in law enforcement, firefighting, aviation, and other fields. These hands-on experiences help cadets prepare for life and public service in a meaningful way.
Safety Is Our Top Priority
All volunteers must complete a background check before becoming part of our officer corps. Cadets are under adult supervision during all training events to ensure a safe and structured environment.
