JROTC program facing disestablishment due to lack of funding!
We are the Auxiliary group that helps support the cadets of the Assabet Valley Regional Technical High School's Marine Corps JROTC program. The program is 20 months old, has 122 cadets and runs all year long. It has one Senior Military Instructor (SMI) that teaches 4 academic classes daily, as well as conducts all before and after school programs for the cadets, The instructor also oversees the unit's competitions, public appearances and community service events.
The contract with the Marine Corps has stated from the beginning that after 75 cadets, a second instructor is required. The program has grown quicker than expected or budgeted for. At this point in time, the school does not have a second instructor in the budget, so we are trying to help raise the necessary funds to become in compliance.
The program started as a club in 2013 with 30 cadets. It grew to a full academic program in 2014 with 93 cadets. The collaboration of hard work and dedication of the SMI, school staff and parent volunteers has made it become very successful. The cadets are learning life skills they do not get elsewhere – some examples are teamwork, self-confidence, and giving back to the community. The cadets recently competed in the Joint Service Grand Nationals, which is a diverse competition for cadet units nationwide. The AV MC JROTC brought home 5 awards!
We need your help!!
The Marine Corps has advised the unit of the requirement of the second instructor and the possibility of probation, which could result in losing the program.The school does not have the funds for the position; we need to raise $100,000 to be able to hire an instructor.
Please Help!! We need your Donations!
We are a 501c3 non-profit and your donations are fully tax deductible. This amazing group of high school students, who gain so much from this program, and add so much value and pride to the community, need your help to become the successful leaders of their generation. We have a July 1, 2016 deadline!
