The mission of Air Force Junior ROTC is to “develop citizens of character dedicated to serving their nation and community.” AFJROTC encompasses the study of ethics, life skills, and citizenship as a way of preparing young people to take their place within society.

Beyond our core focus on citizenship and character development, we emphasize Aerospace Studies and Leadership Application. Our cadets study aviation history and aerodynamics. Classroom learning is enhanced through field trips and hands-on extra-curricular activities (building and launching model rockets, flying remote-controlled aircraft and drones, and opportunities for orientation flights).

We also recognize the importance of leadership in shaping our cadets’ success for the future. By instilling appropriate attitudes and behaviors now, it is possible to improve cadets’ lives and make their futures brighter. Classroom learning is enhanced by offering leadership opportunities in a variety of jobs within the Cadet Corps. Experiences gained in these areas can be directly applied to success in college and careers for years to come. An additional leadership opportunity is available to AFJROTC cadets through our Cadet Leadership Course (CLC); a 1-week summer elective. During CLC, cadets use the leadership lessons learned during the school year and apply them to real-life, day-to-day situations at a local military installation.

Join JROTC for citizenship & leadership training with a focus on flight! There’s no military obligation.
