The "Empowering Youth to Lead: How Parents Can Raise Strong Children" article by Jenna Sherman details ways parents can work to empower children with self-reliance and leadership skills, which is one of the cornerstones of the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps.
Safety
Safety is our top priority. All of our volunteers must undergo a background check before becoming a member of our officer corps, and cadets are under adult supervision during training events. Safety briefings are also included in our training curriculum.

Cost
We work hard to keep enrollment fees and Program costs down in an effort to be accessible to anyone who many want to join us. Costs vary from unit to unit. Enrollment costs are $90 per year, uniforms are a one-time cost of approximately $260. Summer and winter break trainings are about $150/week, $200 for a 10-day training, and $300 for a 14-day training. The training cost covers instruction and room and board. Scholarships are available upon request.
Our Program is not an official branch of the U.S. Navy, but we do receive $1.7 million annually from the Commander, Naval Recruiting Command. We also receive $4.3 million annually from the U.S. Congress. These funds are used to help keep our Program enrollment costs and summer/winter training costs as low as possible.

Time Commitment
USNSCC should not interfere with a Cadet's schoolwork. Units typically meet on a bi-weekly basis during the school year. Normally, training away from home is conducted only during school vacation periods. You may actually find that your child takes a more serious approach to their schoolwork due to the discipline and emphasis on excellence that this program instills in its Cadets. Cadets are also required to be full-time students to enroll in the program.

Inclusion
We strongly believe in the positive impact that our program has on our nation, our sea services, and our youth. It is important to us that we are accessible to anyone who wants to join us regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual identity, socio-economic, geographic background, or physical disability. We are Title IX and ADA-compliant. Promoting a culture of inclusion across our diverse Cadet Corps is something we take very seriously, and we have a zero tolerance policy for hazing and bullying.
