In Sussex County, the spirit of community shines brightly through dedicated service and commitment. Recently, Sussex Tech's Coast Guard Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (JROTC) program was celebrated at a special event, highlighting its role in youth development and community service.
Sussex Tech's Coast Guard JROTC Program
Representative Jeff Hilovsky praised Sussex Tech's Coast Guard JROTC program for its unique position as one of the few Coast Guard JROTC programs in the region. This program not only cultivates leadership and a sense of service in young people but also opens doors to potential careers in the Coast Guard.
In addition to nurturing future leaders, the program addresses a pressing issue: personnel shortages in Coast Guard stations nationwide, leading to operational challenges such as station closures and idle boats. Sussex Tech's JROTC program plays a crucial role in preparing the next generation to tackle these challenges effectively.
Rehoboth Beach Volunteer Fire Company
At the same event, the Rehoboth Beach Volunteer Fire Company was recognized for its vital role in community service. Representative Hilovsky highlighted how Delaware's volunteer firefighters save taxpayers over $250 million annually through their dedicated efforts.
For those looking to make a meaningful impact, volunteering with a local fire company is a great opportunity. It not only supports the community during emergencies but also builds a strong sense of camaraderie and purpose among volunteers. Interested individuals are encouraged to reach out to their local fire company to explore volunteer opportunities.
