Mission: For more than 50 years, the Civil Air Patrol has aggressively performed the missions Congress mandated in 1946: Aerospace Education, Cadet Programs, and Emergency Services. Aerospace Education America's love of manned flight started with the Wright brothers and continues unabated during this century. World War II showcased the important role aviation would play in the future and national leaders recognized the importance of stimulating public interest in aerospace activities. CAP, as the civilian Auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force, was most suited to perform this mission. Their efforts focused on two different audiences - internal CAP members and the general public. Aerospace educators working out of CAP's National Headquarters at Maxwell AFB, Ala., provide materials that are current and reflect the highest standards of educational excellence. The congressional charter also tasked CAP to stimulate public interest in aerospace issues. These external programs are primarily conducted through our nation's education systems. These workshops highlight basic aerospace knowledge and focus on advances in aerospace technology. Textbooks, learning tools, and visual aids geared to stimulate interest in aerospace matters also are provided for teachers to use in their classrooms. Started in 1951, these workshops have reached hundreds of thousands of young people. CAP also plans and executes the National Congress on Aviation and Space Education. NCASE is the premier aerospace education conference held in the nation. The NCASE is designed to promote an understanding of aviation and space education to motivate and encourage teachers to incorporate aerospace education into their curriculum. It also encourages aerospace leaders to speak out on aerospace issues facing our nation today.

Mission: Backcountry discovery routes is a 501(c)(4) non-profit organization whose mission is to establish and preserve off-highway routes for dual-sport and adventure motorcycle travel. Through education, advocacy, and promotion of responsible motorcycle travel, bdr seeks to preserve backcountry motorcycling opportunities for generations to come. Programs: In 2017 bdr created a new motorcycle route across the states of virginia, west virginia, maryland and pennsylvania for dual-sport and adventure motorcycles. The project was called the mid-atlantic bdr and it involved creating a water-proof map of the route and producing a complete informational travel resource on the website. The organization also worked with an ad agency to market the brand in magazines, on social media and on the company website www. Ridebdr. Com. Other bdr accomplishments include a movie tour conducted in 45 cities across the usa, a fundraising event in california's mojave desert, and a fundraising drive in july using a new matching program. Additionally,the organization commissioned an economic impact study that demonstrated the millions of dollars being brought in tourism dollars to small communities along the route. The organization also developed the framework for an upcoming route in ca. Lastly, a new forum was created to allow users of the bdr routes to collaborate and share information about trip planning, route conditions, etc.
