Who can enroll in NJROTC programs?

The NJROTC program is specifically designed for high school students, typically those in grades 9-12. This program aims to instill a sense of citizenship, leadership, and responsibility among young individuals, preparing them for future challenges whether they choose to pursue a military career or other paths. It emphasizes the importance of teamwork, discipline, and respect, aligning with the developmental needs of adolescents during high school.
