There are several different types of volunteering within the Navy League that provide adults with opportunities to exercise and learn personnel management, a sense of community, and several other skills.

There are two different types of positions for adults to hold at a Sea Cadet Corps. A Navy League civilian volunteer is there to aid the Corps.

Civilian Instructors (CI) may be hired to complement the knowledge and skill set of the CIC staff. Many are highly specialized in particular areas of cadet training such as first aid, music or biathlon. CIs who do not have regular positions may serve as unpaid civilian volunteers. In this case, these individuals are deemed to be volunteers of the Navy League and, as such, are subject to the Navy League’s governing documents and policies.

 

In addition to dedicated civilian volunteers, each Navy League Cadet Corps and Sea Cadet Corps has an associated Navy League Branch member assigned to liaise between the Branch and the Corps. 

The Branch arranges a variety of things to support the corps, including fundraising, insurance, and cadet supervision and also cadet instruction, should the need be identified.

There are numerous tasks and responsibilities to be fulfilled by the Branch so that a Sea Cadet and/or Navy League Cadet Corps can exist. Many hands make light work. To manage the overall responsibility of the local branch, there is an organization structure and primary roles to be filled, including president, vice-president, treasurer, secretary and Corps Chairpersons.

Screening is mandatory for all adults who come in contact with cadets as an instructor, supervisor, canteen supporter, a Branch member and sometimes even a driver. This activity is to protect both the youth we support and you the volunteer. It is important that we demonstrate and display(badges) our due diligence to ensure that only authorized volunteers are directly responsible for the safety and well-being of our cadets.
