The U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps is a leadership development nonprofit for young people, ages 10 through 17. This is a year round program, not a school, sponsored by the Navy League of the United States and supported by both the U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard. Our passionate all-volunteer force leads all of our divisions and squadrons. Every year our cadets participate in training opportunities such as scuba, field and medical training, photojournalism, military police science and sailing. When cadets join the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps, they embark upon a path of lifelong leadership. The program will teach them how to lead groups of their peers successfully and will also inspire them to become leaders in their schools and communities. 

The goals of our program are to:

• Develop an interest and ability in seamanship and seagoing skills.
• Instill principles of good citizenship and strong moral principles.
• Demonstrate the value of an alcohol-, drug- and gang-free lifestyle.
• Expose cadets to the prestige of a military career.
