• Civil Air Patrol

  As a Riverside cadet, you can serve simultaneously as a member of the Civil Air Patrol. The Civil Air Patrol (CAP) was founded on Dec. 1, 1941, to mobilize the nation's civilian aviation resources for national defense service. CAP has evolved into a premier public service organization that still carries out emergency service missions when needed — in the air and on the ground.
  
  

  As a Total Force partner and Auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force, Civil Air Patrol is there to search for and find the lost, provide comfort in times of disaster, and work to keep the homeland safe. Its 56,000 members selflessly devote their time, energy, and expertise toward the well-being of their communities, while also promoting aviation and related fields through aerospace/STEM education and helping shape future leaders through CAP’s cadet program.
  
  

  Civil Air Patrol’s missions for America are many, and today’s adults and cadets perform their duties with the same vigilance as its founding members — preserving CAP’s 80-year legacy of service while maintaining its commitment to nearly 1,500 communities nationwide.

• JROTC Teams

  Riverside's Army JROTC teams include the Air Rifle Team, Color Guard, Drill Team (Fusiliers), and Raider Team. 
  

• Peer Tutoring Volunteers

  Peer tutors are cadets who assist as academic leaders and tutors in the dormitory. They are selected for these important roles on the basis of scholarship and character.

• Raider Training

  The main objective of the Raider Training Program is weight loss achieved through proper nutrition and functional fitness. 
  
  The program consists of three pillars:
  

  • Pillar 1 is Nutrition. We encourage participants to make healthy choices that are appropriately portioned when they are on their own and serve healthy, alternate meals (no fried foods, low-carb, etc.) for breakfast, lunch, and dinner during the week. 
  • Pillar 2 is Fitness. This pillar is maintained by an organized and supervised fitness program that is age-appropriate, challenging, fun, and effective. Each day during GSA, participants engage in a variety of high-intensity interval training, cardio, and weight-lifting routines. The program has purchased $1,500 of new equipment such as battle ropes, wall-balls, slam-balls, kettlebells, and gymnastics rings to augment the equipment in the Barracks Weight Room; this purchase was made possible by a program grant funded by Walmart. 
  • Pillar 3 is Accountability. Pillar 3 consists of twice-weekly weigh-ins, personal goal setting, and TAC/Parent involvement. The desired end-state is that the participants lose weight, attribute their success to hard work and simple principles and that the lessons they've learned become part of a lifestyle change that will endure beyond their time in the program. We have the cadets eat as a group, away from the Mess Hall, so that they are held accountable by their peers in the group for the choices they make for each meal, as well as their progress toward personal goals. Long-term goals, supported by 'milestone' goals that are short-term, achievable goals, are also an integral part of the accountability pillar. 

  Success in the program is further incentivized by rewarding the 'biggest losers' from each week with healthy off-campus meals. 
  The cost of the program is $100 per semester.

• Weight Training

  The weight training club's purpose is to educate and mentor cadets on all aspects of fitness and wellness including physical, mental, social, and emotional wellness. Cadets receive guidance and coaching on nutrition, weight training, cardiovascular, CrossFit, flexibility, and various aspects of comprehensive fitness. Participants will also receive training and nutrition guidance from certified personal trainers and professional competitors in the fitness industry.
