JROTC Leadership Staff is an advanced, student-led leadership course designed for cadets selected to serve in key leadership and staff positions within the JROTC corps. This course provides cadets with the opportunity to apply leadership theory, management skills, and ethical decision-making in real-world organizational settings.
Cadets in Leadership Staff are responsible for planning, coordinating, and executing unit operations, events, and activities. Responsibilities may include mentoring and training junior cadets, assisting with instruction, managing logistics and administrative tasks, and supporting command and staff functions. Emphasis is placed on professionalism, communication, teamwork, accountability, and service leadership.
The course reinforces the AFJROTC mission of “Developing citizens of character” and prepares students for leadership roles in college, military service, and civilian careers through experiential learning and increased responsibility.
This course is reserved for students serving as staff members of AFJROTC. This is not a military course and does not require enrollment into the U.S. Military. Parents and students must complete the Department of Defence Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps Student Code of Conduct and Parent/Guardian Consent Form to remain in the course.
