Volunteers

If you’re aged over 19 you can volunteer. That’s it. No need for military experience or any form of previous training – we’ll take care of that. We’re just looking for suitable, enthusiastic individuals to help our cadets get the most from their time with us. The benefits of being a part 296 Air Cadet Squadron is the same for volunteers as for cadets – the opportunity to do lots of exciting activities and develop personal skills and talents.
