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 from Jog-A-Thons to paper drives. Some units may clean stadiums
after football games
and donate aluminum cans for community recycling programs. Any proceeds
from these fund-raising
activities benefit the respective units.
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, the Adopt-a-Highway
Program and
the Special Olympics. Cadets have worked to clean and refurbish cemeteries,
rebuild parks, sponsor
little league teams and work with the visually and mentally impaired.
One AFJROTC unit organized a volunteer team to help a paralyzed boy walk
again by helping him
with his physical therapy. Another unit worked with the Multiple Sclerosis
Swimming Therapy
Sessions and the Handicapped Bowling League. Yet another unit helped distribute
clothing and food
for homeless native Americans. Cadets routinely visit homes for the aged,
hospitals, veterans groups
and many other agencies to demonstrate their resolve to help their community
and their country.
