How does JROTC promote active citizenship?

JROTC promotes active citizenship primarily through involvement in civic duties. This approach encourages cadets to understand their responsibilities as citizens and the importance of participating in their communities. By engaging in activities such as voting, community service, and understanding local government processes, students learn the vital role they play in society. This emphasis on civic engagement helps foster a sense of duty and encourages them to contribute positively to their communities, reinforcing the program's goal of developing responsible and informed citizens.

While community fundraisers, leadership workshops, and athletic events can also enhance teamwork and skills, they are more peripheral to the foundational idea of civic involvement that is central to promoting active citizenship.
