JROTC - Army
The U.S. Army Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (JROTC) is a congressionally mandated program that focuses on the youth-oriented mission “Motivating Young People to be Better Citizens”. The vision of JROTC is to provide a quality citizenship, character, and leadership development program, while fostering partnerships with communities and educational institutions. As such, it is one of the largest youth programs in the world with more than 310,000 high school students participating annually while enrolled in over 1,700 secondary educational programs and encompasses a myriad of teaching goals focused on leadership, teamwork, character education, personal responsibility, a sense of accomplishment, and service to the nation. Two of the most important assets for JROTC are the Cadets/students and the nearly 4,000 instructors who lead, guide, and mentor their Cadets.
Army JROTC is one of the few programs available in the high school schedule that can have a profound impact on motivating students to excel and achieve their goals. The JROTC program has the mentors, resources and organizational structure to overcome many of the challenges associated with teaching adolescents.
Cadets enrolled in JROTC have the benefit of being exposed to a disciplined learning environment where focus, followership, leadership and goal setting are not only expected, but realized by each cadet. Cadets begin to realize their full potential and are actively supported by the instructors to achieve their set goals.
