Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps, Contributions to America's Communities?

Abstract

This paper presents an in depth evaluation of the value of JROTC programs to students, schools, and the communities they serve. The primary methodology compares populations of JROTC cadets to populations of students not enrolled in JROTC programs in the same high school programs where the cadets are enrolled. The study also takes a broad look at the history of JROTC, its current state of affairs and future developments of the program. The study uses literature searches, surveys, interviews and focus groups to gather information. The paper lays out what the current reach and impact of JROTC is on the nation as a whole and where JROTC fits in the scheme of youth education and service to the community.
