Get Involved. Make a Difference.
Army Cadets provides volunteering opportunities as instructors, mentors and helpers for our cadets.
Volunteering with Army Cadets offers a wide range of benefits, from learning new skills and developing existing talents to gaining valuable experience and meeting new people. It’s a fantastic opportunity to give back to your local community and make a difference in the lives of young people. You’ll also gain transferable skills that can enhance your career.
No military background is required, and we provide all the training you need. If you’re ready to get involved, register your interest, and we’ll arrange a time to meet and tell you more!
Develop Skills and Earn Qualifications
Working alongside other adults at your detachment, you will develop teamwork and leadership skills in a whole new environment. Sometimes, this can even lead to a career change or a promotion. Simply by helping run cadet activities, you can earn yourself a range of respected vocational qualifications of real value in today’s workplace.
Becoming a Cadet Force Adult Volunteer is a challenge, but it’s worth it. Seeing cadets grow and enjoy activities is so rewarding. My advice: give it a go—you’ll love it as much as they do.
