Cadet Force Adult Volunteers

Adult Volunteers are the lifeblood of the Sea Cadets, Army Cadets and RAF Air Cadets, enabling young people in communities near you to learn new skills, overcome difficulty and become responsible citizens.

In total, there are in excess of 20,000 Adult Volunteers from Cadet Forces across the country. And while military experience is welcomed, it is not necessary.

Adult Volunteers also benefit from new leadership and team-building skills, confidence and, in some cases, even vocational qualifications linked to community, social action and volunteering.

If you want to make a difference to the lives of young people and can commit a few hours each week, your local Cadet Forces would love to hear from you:

But don’t just take our word for it. Hear what Sergeant Major Pincombe, of Loughborough Army Cadets, thinks about volunteering with the Cadets.
