What does service learning involve in the NJROTC curriculum?

Service learning in the NJROTC curriculum specifically emphasizes engaging in community service projects. This aspect is designed to instill a sense of civic responsibility and awareness among cadets, allowing them to apply classroom knowledge to real-world situations while contributing positively to their communities. It is an experiential learning approach where cadets can develop various personal and social skills through service, reflecting the ideals of leadership and teamwork that are integral to NJROTC’s mission.

While physical training exercises, leadership seminars, and military history research may be parts of the broader educational framework, they do not encapsulate the core principle of service learning, which is rooted in community engagement and service to others.
