Alternative Youth Programs & Adult Programs

The Cadet Corps' alternative youth programs help young people improve their communities. We are a nonprofit organization based in Mahwah and provide services throughout the State of New Jersey. We are presently expanding into more states. You can email our recruiting team for more information on our programs and prices at contactus@thecadetcorps.com

Leadership Program

The Cadet Corps leadership program is for the entire school year. Through placement in our leadership program, the selected candidates will be instructed on basic, intermediate, and advanced criminal justice and math courses in addition to physical fitness drills. This program will occur one weekend a month, two weeks in the summer months. The objectives of the leadership program are the following:
  • To introduce cadets to the criminal justice system;
  • To develop a sense of camaraderie, pride, honor, and commitment (sports); and
  • To maintain an environment free of drugs and gangs
  • Assist high school and college graduates with their resumes and interviewing skills

Summer Camp

The Cadet Corps summer camp is open to students who participated in the motivation/monitoring program. The summer camp is a four-week training session from 8 a.m.-4 p.m., Monday through Friday. The first four hours consist of a Math Boot Camp. The last four hours consist of drill, ceremony, and physical fitness. There will also be The Cadet Corps in-service training courses.

Motivation/Monitoring Program

The school principal should utilize The Cadet Corps motivation/monitoring program during the regular school schedule. When a student is assigned to the classroom, his or her participation in the program should become mandatory with a parent/guardian’s permission.
The Cadet Corps staff will prepare the participating school’s designated program coordinator to supervise the program. He/she will be responsible for employing The Cadet Corps objectives. These objectives include instructing students regarding respect, personal discipline, and social behavior.
The principal will provide classroom personnel, i.e., a certified teacher who will assist students with academic assignments during the motivation/monitoring sessions. The program coordinator will maintain a journal for each student assigned to the motivation/monitoring classroom, coordinate parent/teacher conferences, determine when students have been rehabilitated, and recommend their return to normal classroom settings. This program is designed to undertake all the administrative duties regarding the in-school suspension program, which allows the school staff to concentrate on the school academic programs.
Our athletic programs are designed to attract children to our alternative programs, which are intended to enhance existing mentoring programs.
Our school alternative programs are free. We will prepare your staff to operate The Cadet Corps Programs, and we will have a one-time assessment fee of $3,000, which will include the following:
  • Meet with administrator(s) to discuss potential problem(s) in the school district
  • Tour problem area(s) of concern
  • Make recommendations and prepare a plan of execution for the administrators
  • All checks will be made to The Cadet Corps Corporation. You may also contact us for questions or concerns about our alternative programs.
