JROTC Program CoordinatorJROTC
Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps , or JROTC, is designed to teach high school students the value of citizenship, leadership, service to the community, personal responsibility, and a sense of accomplishment, while instilling in them self-esteem, teamwork, and self-discipline. Its focus is reflected in its mission statement, "To motivate young people to be better citizens." It prepares high school students for responsible leadership roles while making them aware of their rights, responsibilities, and privileges as American citizens. The program is a stimulus for promoting graduation from high school, and it provides instruction and rewarding opportunities that will benefit the student, community, and nation.
The programs of three services, Army, Air Force and Navy, are offered at 25 high schools in DoDDS-Europe. Breakdown by service follows:
