Area youths have access to a free youth leadership program offered in Mount Forest.
Organizers say there are no strings attached with the Air Cadet program of Wellington North, which offers youths aged 12 to 18 an opportunity to develop their leadership skills and have fun at the same time. No dues are collected and there are no fees for uniforms or materials. The cost of extra-curricular activities and outings is also covered.
Youths involved in Air Cadets have the opportunity to experience the joy of flight, learn about basic aviation principles, and can attend summer camp for anything from Sports to music to aviation related camps – all free of charge.
Youths involved in Air Cadets are not members of the Canadian Forces, organizers note.
Some of the programs Air Cadets offer involve: leadership, citizenship, first aid, survival, Sports, music, marksmanship, meteorology, drill, community service, and more.
