Community Projects

In an effort to produce well-informed and helpful citizens, AFJROTC encourages its cadets to get involved in their 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 Adopt-a-Plane washes to cookie dough sales and from Blood Drives to recycling drives.

Many cadets also volunteer their time to support local non-profit organization
