Foreign Service Youth Foundation

The United States Naval Sea Cadet Corps is a youth development program that provides young Americans, aged 10 to 18, with opportunities to gain skills, knowledge, and confidence through a variety of hands-on training experiences. Supported by the U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard, cadets engage in activities ranging from seamanship and sailing to aviation and medical STEM programs. The organization emphasizes building leaders of character, instilling values of honor, respect, commitment, and service in its members. While many cadets go on to pursue military careers, there is no obligation to join the armed forces, and the program is designed to prepare participants for success in any path they choose.
