The Air Training Corps is staffed by adult volunteers who are essential to the running of every squadron and the corps as a whole. If you are over 21 years of age and are willing to lend a hand then we would love to hear from you. There are two ways that you can make a difference to your local squadron; by becoming a: Civilian Instructor (CI) Member of a Squadron's Civilian Committee.   Civilian Instructors (CIs) are adult volunteers who attend squadron parade evenings and help to organise and instruct cadets in the squadron. Of special interest to us as CIs are people who have served in the Armed or Cadet Forces or who are able to pass on knowledge in a specialised subject (ie communications, propulsion etc). However a volunteer from any walk of life who is prepared to spend the time to help out will be contributing greatly in some shape or form. Those applying for Civilian Instructor posts will need to have a checkable background and undergo security clearance and vetting.     Adult volunteers alternatively can play a role by becoming a member of a Civilian Committee. The Civilian Committee is made up of members of the Squadron's local community and is meant to act as an interface between the squadron and the community as well as providing vital functions such as fund raising, looking after cadet's welfare and acting as a 'think-tank' producing ideas which will enhance the squadron and it's standing. Most committees meet every two months or so.
