Cadet Support Services
Building leaders of character also means helping our future Air Force and Space Force officers maintain balance in their physical, spiritual, social and mental walks of life. The U.S. Air Force Academy has a number of programs, offices and initiatives dedicated to supporting cadets:
Cadet Sponsor Program
A unique and rewarding way to support the Academy, the Sponsor Program offers members of the local Colorado Springs community the opportunity to play a significant role in the life of a cadet.

Counseling and Advising
The Academy provides a variety of options for cadets to seek out counseling and guidance. Whether you’re a fourth-degree seeking assistance adjusting to the military lifestyle or a two-degree struggling with relationship issues, faculty, staff and other cadets are available to help.

Spiritual Life
Chaplains provide all cadets with daily opportunities for worship, regular visitation within the cadet-training areas and are available to provide confidential counseling and mentorship. Cadets voluntarily participate in spiritual and religious opportunities of their own choosing.
Voting Assistance
The Voting Assistance Office ensures cadets are aware of their right to vote and have the tools and resources to successfully do so.
