How do cadets typically demonstrate leadership skills in NJROTC?

Cadets typically demonstrate leadership skills in NJROTC by leading community service projects. This involvement allows cadets to take on responsibilities such as planning, coordinating, and executing various initiatives that benefit their communities. Through these projects, cadets can exhibit critical leadership qualities such as communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and the ability to motivate others. Taking the lead in such initiatives not only enhances their leadership capabilities but also fosters a sense of civic duty and accountability. Engaging with the community through service projects also helps cadets build relationships and collaborate with peers and adults, enriching their overall leadership experience.

While organizing physical training sessions, completing academic assignments, and participating in competitions are valuable activities, they primarily focus on physical fitness, academic performance, and competitive skills, rather than directly reflecting leadership through community engagement.
