Roles and responsibilities for the Cadet Program are shared locally between the cadet corps/squadron staff (military) and the sponsor/sponsoring committee (civilian).

Cadet corps/squadron staff is comprised of members of the Cadet Instructors Cadre, who are part-time Canadian Forces (CF) officers responsible for all aspects of training and administration at the cadet corps/squadron. Other CF members and civilian instructors may also be members of the local staff.

Sponsor/sponsoring committees are community-level organizations that coordinate community support for Cadets. Their exact make-up varies and can include interested parents, community members, service clubs, town councils and corporations.

They are responsible for providing suitable accommodations for cadet training and activities, promoting the Cadet Program to the community, fundraising and managing funds for activities that the CF foes not financially support.

Local sponsoring committees are chartered but the Navy League, Army Cadet League or Air Cadet League, civilian organizations partnered with the CF.
