The Sea Cadet program is managed and supervised by CIC (Cadet Instructor Cadre) Officers, which are paid members of the Canadian Forces. For details, please have a look at the Cadets Canada webpage.  However, not everyone who wants to instruct and lead cadets or support the Corps more generally has to enrol in the Canadian Forces.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES FOR ADULTS

There are several different types of volunteering 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 civilian volunteer is there to aid the Corps.

SEA CADET VOLUNTEERS  

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.

BRANCH VOLUNTEERS

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.

VOLUNTEER SCREENING

Adults interested in becoming Civilian Volunteers and Instructors, Navy League Cadet Officers and/or members of the local Branch (Corps’ support committee) must be screened.

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