USAFA State Parent Clubs

Just as United States Air Force Academy cadets support each other,  parents of cadets support each other. They provide shoulders to lean on,  voice their opinions, control rumors and develop lifelong  friendships—many continuing their membership in a country-wide support  system, long after their sons and daughters graduate.

There are nearly 100 parent clubs across the country. Join one in your state!

Parent Clubs exist because the Academy experience is unlike any  other. Parent Clubs exist to provide support and help pass on  information to new Academy parents, as well to ensure parents know what  is going on at the United States Air Force Academy.

Parent Clubs also help parents support their cadets! At the Academy,  try as we may, we cannot always adequately articulate the hardships  associated with the regimen each cadet experiences. Parent Clubs can  help to reassure parents, as well as and help them to understand that  the pressures, on the cadets and their parents, are enormous from the  very beginning and these pressures often disrupt communications between  the students and the parents.

Parent Clubs help recruit other outstanding young men and women to  the Academy, and host cadets when they travel for Academy-sponsored  events. They sponsor tailgate parties at football games. They provide  fans for “away” sporting events and cadet visits, host events at home  such as; Appointee get together, military balls, and send care packages  to cadets/cadet candidates. Some Parent Clubs provide financial support  for cadet activities, which make the Academy a more enriching  experience. Each club is run independently of each other and the  Academy. Some Parent Clubs are bigger than others, and that is fine as  we are all here to support the cadets and cadet candidates!

If you are a new Parent Club President please fill out the Parent Club President Form.

Each year the Academy hosts a Parent Club Presidents Conference right  before Parents Weekend. A Reception is normally held at the  Superintendent’s home the Wednesday before Parents Weekend and the  conference is Thursday at Doolittle Hall. You may sell your items during  the conference.

On Friday of Parents Weekend, there is an Information Fair at Arnold  Hall that some Parent Clubs have a table to sell approved products. As  soon as the Parent Liaison gets the information required from Arnold  Hall they will send out the required information to the Parents’ Club to  submit for reservation.
