The Adopt A Cadet Program
The NNDCC program at Evan E. Worthing High School provides schools that do not qualify for a Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps (NJROTC) unit an opportunity to provide a similar program designed to expand students' opportunities to gain the values of citizenship, service to the United States, personal responsibility and a sense of accomplishment. But with this opportunity comes a great problem for most NNDCCs and that is funding that is why we started the Adopt A Cadet Program so that we could ask our parents, professionals, businesses, and the community to invest in our cadet's future in the program.

Building an NNDCC/NJROTC Unit takes a lot of time, effort, patience, and support. My cadets and I would greatly appreciate it if you would take interest in helping us become the kind of program that we would like to be in the future with your support. Please help support our Adopt A Cadet Program
