The Australian Air Force Cadets (AAFC) is a youth oriented organisation that is administered and actively supported by the Royal Australian Air Force.
They are seeking people aged between 13 and 17-years-old.
A spokesperson from the local AAFC said the organisation will teach cadets valuable life skills and will help cadets develop qualities including leadership, self-reliance, confidence, teamwork and communication.
"The fundamental aim of the AAFC is to foster qualities that will enable cadets to become responsible young adults, who will make a valuable contribution to the community," she said.
"No matter what career cadets choose, the AAFC provides a foundation of knowledge and skills that will assist them towards their future."
The 312 Squadron Macleay Valley was first formed in Kempsey in 1999 at the Kempsey Airport.
The Squadron has since become an integral part of the Macleay Valley community, with a current strength of approximately 20 cadets.
Some activities undertaken by the AAFC include flying, fieldcraft, adventure training, firearms safety training, drill and ceremonial, service knowledge, aeromodelling, navigation and gliding.
The 312 Squadron is based in Kempsey, at the Military Depot in South Kempsey. Members parade each week of the school term on a Thursday night, from 5.30pm to 9pm.
Information sessions are on at 5.30pm on Thursday February 6, 13 and 20.
