RED RIBBON LEADERSHIP ACADEMY

9TH SUFFOLK CADET SQUADRON HOSTS

RED RIBBON LEADERSHIP ACADEMY

2024 Activity Dates TBA

 

[The link to sign-up is at the bottom of this page.]
     Red Ribbon Week runs each year October 23 through October 31 to remember Enrique "Kiki" Camarena, a Drug Enforcement Administration Agent, who was killed in Mexico 1985.  Wear a Red Ribbon to promote a drug-free message in honor of Kiki's battle against illegal drugs.
 
     Our Red Ribbon Leadership Academy places high school aged cadet NCOs and officers in front of middle school students (non-cadets) to serve as role models and leadership educators during a 3-hour workshop.  The "Red Ribbon" symbolizes the Academy's role in promoting the drug-free ethic.
 
 

Program Goals                                                                         

  • To equip middle school student leaders with a basic understanding of the art and science of leadership. 
  • To promote the drug-free ethic among middle school student leaders by using CAP cadets as role models. 
  • To provide a venue for cadet officers and NCOs  to apply their leadership skills. 
  • To increase the Cadet Program's visibility in the community and boost cadet recruiting.
