How do JROTC cadets participate in governance?

Cadets in the JROTC program participate in governance primarily by engaging in cadet councils and discussions on unit operations. This involvement provides them a platform to express their ideas, concerns, and opinions regarding the program and its activities. By participating in these councils, cadets learn about leadership, teamwork, and decision-making processes, which are essential skills in both military and civilian life. This engagement allows them to contribute to the overall direction of their unit, ensuring their voices are heard in matters that affect their training and experience within the program.

While voting on school policies and forming clubs may be aspects of student engagement in general, they do not specifically relate to the internal governance mechanisms of JROTC. Similarly, parent-teacher meetings, while important for overall school communication, do not reflect the direct involvement of cadets in the governance of their unit.
