April 17, 2024 – California – Time for Change Foundation’s (TFCF) 22nd Annual Awards Gala will honor outstanding individuals and organizations that go above and beyond for our communities and continue to make a difference in the lives of others.
Rialto High School’s Navy Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (NJROTC) program celebrates its commitment to excellence, community service, and leadership development as it marks its 31st year since commissioning in 1993.
Under the guidance of retired military officers and enlisted personnel, Rialto High School’s NJROTC program offers a comprehensive curriculum focusing on citizenship, leadership, and maritime heritage. Through classroom instruction, cadets delve into the fundamentals of naval operations, seamanship, navigation, and meteorology, preparing them for future endeavors in both military service and civilian life.
What sets Rialto High School’s NJROTC apart is its unwavering commitment to community service. With a mission to transform ordinary teenagers into hardworking adults with a passion for service, cadets engage in a myriad of activities throughout the year. From drill competitions to physical fitness challenges, marksmanship training, and leadership academies, cadets immerse themselves in opportunities for growth and development.
“As Rialto High School’s NJROTC program continues to inspire and empower its cadets, it remains steadfast in its mission to shape the leaders of tomorrow and uphold the values of service and patriotism,” said Vanessa Perez, Executive Director at the Time for Change Foundation.
