How can cadets earn community service hours in NJROTC?

Cadets can earn community service hours in NJROTC by participating in volunteer activities organized by the unit. This engagement not only fulfills community service requirements but also helps develop a sense of civic responsibility and teamwork among cadets. These activities may include events like beach cleanups, assisting at local charities, or participating in community outreach programs, which directly contribute to the welfare of the community and build camaraderie within the unit.

While attending leadership camps, demonstrating academic excellence, and leading training sessions contribute to personal development and leadership skills, they do not typically qualify for community service hours. Community service specifically refers to activities that benefit others in a volunteer capacity, which is why participation in organized volunteer activities is recognized as the primary means of earning those hours within NJROTC.
