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.
Disaster Aid, Disaster Preparedness & Relief Services
Mission: To empower communities to rise from a culture of desperation to one of restored hope and self-sustainability. Target demographics: provide assistance in the areas of healthcare, nutrition, education and basic living conditions Direct beneficiaries per year: Over 1200 students and families in need Geographic areas served: Communities (currently in Haiti) Programs: Missions trips - each year, several opportunities are available for individuals to travel to haiti to be a part of the on the ground work taking place in the 3 communities we serve. Those who join us on a trip to haiti will get to put their personal skill set to work to help further restore haiti's long term purposes. Trip members can work with construction teams on the building projects in process, work in the kitchens with the Haitian cooks who prepare food for the feeding program, serve members of the community by providing training seminars on topics in which they have expertise (education, health and nutrition, character building and leadership, etc. ), work alongside our medical clinic staff, and have (see schedule o) an opportunity to interact with the child they sponsor and their family. sponsorships/feeding program - mal-nutrition and lack of education are two of the biggest issues the youth of haiti struggle to overcome. Because there is no free public education in haiti, many haitian children are not afforded the opportunity for consistent schooling, and therefore grow up to be unemployed and unable to support themselves. In an effort to confront these two major areas of need, we have created the restore haiti child sponsorship program. This program allows donors to help a specific child by providing funds for their education. In addition, the child is admitted to our feeding program where they receive a hot meal, beverage, and multivitamin each day. Other benefits include access to medical clinics, and in some cases extra (see schedule o) financial assistance for their families specific needs. Sponsors are also given the opportunity to connect personally with the child through photos, notes, and the opportunity to help provide school supplies or send a christmas gift each year. Many sponsors also choose to visit the child by going on one of our planned trips to haiti each year. building project / earthquake relief - there are several building programs in progress in the community in haiti that we have adopted. Although long term we plan for these building projects to be more focused on facilities needed for the many programs in place, we are currently more focused on helping to rebuild homes for 17 families in our community who have been living in tents since the january 2010 earthquake. These concrete home are affordable, running between 6,000 - 15,000 usd depending upon the size of the home required for the family. Some of our sponsors have had the opportunity to help with fundraising to build a home for the family of the specific child they sponsor, allowing another connection point for the sponsor to the child. In addition to the homes, we (see schedule o) have helped to raise funds for the communities first medical clinic and the first pre-school in the area, both of which are now fully functioning and accessible to the members of the community.
