Every year the JROTC program at Pemberton Township High School assigns each LET class to an assigned We the People mission. This year as LET 4s our class was assigned to voter registration project. Our mission was to successfully register the entire senior class at our school. Before we could jump into our task we had to be briefed on how to accomplish it.

Every year the number of voters who are successfully registered goes up. Our 2015-2016 goal was to successfully register the entire senior class. My individual goal was to register my fifteen students as well as get them to fill out a vote by mail form. A vote by mail form is an alternative to going to the polling place. Instead of going to the voter building you can submit your vote through a form that gets sent out in the mail. My sub goal was to be able to complete all my forms within the first 3 weeks. The mission of JROTC is to influence young people to be better citizens. This mission is not taken lightly. As cadets we work hard to do our role in being better citizens. The we the people project allows us to do our country a favor and enlighten others on their rights as citizens. By sharing our knowledge of voting we can influence others to participate in a right in which other non US citizens wish they could have. It is our job as a US citizen to vote. By participating in this project we cadets our allowed the opportunity to practice citizen ship while teaching
