Cadet Retention Programs

Be apart of the breakthrough and help take care of home.

The Black Air Force Academy Cadet Retention Program aims to support and retain Black cadets in the Air Force Academy. Recent studies have shown that the military has struggled to retain Black service members due to various factors such as lack of support, inadequate resources, and cultural misunderstandings.

By donating to this program, alumni could help provide additional resources and support to Black cadets, which could improve their retention rates and ultimately strengthen the diversity and unity within the Air Force. Additionally, supporting this program also aligns with the values of many Air Force Academy alumni who are committed to creating a more inclusive and equitable military.

Overall, alumni donations to the Black Air Force Academy Cadet Retention Program could have a significant impact on the lives and experiences of Black cadets at the academy.
