Reach will partner with Civil Air Patrol (CAP), which is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that serves as the civilian auxiliary to the U.S. Air Force.   The Cadet Program is one of CAP's three missions.   As a CAP cadet, Reach’s students will participate in a year-round program where they fly, learn to lead, hike, camp, get in shape and push themselves to new limits.  

The program transforms youth into dynamic citizens and aerospace leaders through a curriculum that focuses on four elements: leadership, aerospace, fitness, and character.  

As students participate in these four elements, they advance through a series of achievements, earning honors and increased responsibilities along the way.   Many of the nation's astronauts, pilots, engineers, and scientists first explored their careers through CAP.  The leadership skills, self-confidence, and discipline Reach students gain will prepare them to achieve whatever goals they set for themselves in life.  

Reach students, ages 12-18 years of age are eligible to become CAP cadets.
