- Team-building experiences

- Intramural competition

- Field trips / training opportunities

 

Community Projects

In an effort to produce well-informed and helpful citizens, AFJROTC encourages its cadets to get involved in their local communities. This is one of the most interesting and fun aspects of the AFJROTC experience. The number, type and size of cadet community projects are limited only by their imagination. Units perform as a team as they coordinate everything from car washes to candy sales and Jog-A-Thons. Any proceeds from these fund-raising activities benefit the unit. Many cadets also volunteer their time to support local non-profit events. Some of these organizations include the March of Dimes, the Muscular Dystrophy Association, and the Special Olympics. Cadets have worked to clean and rebuild parks, sponsor little league teams and work with the visually and mentally impaired.
