What is the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps?

USNSCC is a national youth leadership development organization that promotes interest and skill in naval disciplines while instilling strong moral character and life skills through leadership and technical programs modeled after the U.S. Navys professional development system.

USNSCC is comprised of two programs.

  • The Naval Sea Cadet Corps (NSCC) program is for high school students ages 13-18.  
  • The Navy League Cadet Corps (NLCC), for youth ages 10-13 who are in 5th-8th grades.

The USNSCC is run by a national staff in Arlington, Virginia. We are sponsored by the Navy League of the United States and supported by both the U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard.

Our unparalleled training program is designed to:

  • Develop leadership skills and personal responsibility.
  • Instill virtues of good citizenship and strong moral principles in each cadet.
  • Demonstrate the value of an alcohol, drug and gang free lifestyle.

Community Service

Cadets participate in community service events throughout the greater Glendale and Phoenix area. Sometimes the cadets serve together as a unit and other times they volunteer on an individual basis.

In the past few years our cadets have volunteered at various places including the Glendale VFW, Parents of Murdered Children (POMC) events, Feed My Starving Children, Above and Beyond USA (formerly known as Sky Kids), 1Mission (Mexico), various food banks, and veteran support organizations.

Commitment to service and community is a key element in building character and a sense of responsibility.
