Space Force Junior ROTC (HQ AFJROTC)

Space Force Junior ROTC is a Title 10-mandated citizenship training program that's designed to educate high school students in citizenship, and to promote community service, personal responsibility, character, and self-discipline. The program achieves these objectives through classroom education in air and space fundamentals as well as hands-on learning opportunities in a number of fun and challenging co-curricular activities. The Space Force ROTC program is grounded in the United States Space Force core values of “Character Above All, Connection Toward Unity, Commitment to Mastery, and Courage to be Bold.” Its vision is to be the nation's premier space-based youth program to provide ambassadors and champions for space in their communities. Founded in 2021, the program has 10 Space Force Junior ROTC units in high schools in the United States. These units are managed by the HQ Air Force JROTC program co-located at Maxwell AFB, AL. There are more than 2,000 high school Cadet Guardians in the program and 20 retired USAF instructors who lead, mentor, guide, and teach the #CadetGuardians in their high schools. #SFJROTC #SpaceForceJROTC #JROTC
