We Are Building Future Leaders Now
As an educator for the last 20+ years, I've seen where the gap is. I chose to become the Executive Director of JROTC to shed light on Chicago JROTC and the opportunities our black and brown students have. Through JROTC, they have access to unique experiences, leadership opportunities, scholarships, colleges, careers, financial savings, and so much more. We are building future leaders now and getting them ready to be successful now.
