The mission of Patriot Cadets mission is to help parents and youth alike, to build a better family unit, through better attitudes and behavior, thus promoting a better quality of life using military techniques and training.
In today’s world, our youths believe that parents/guardians owe them whatever they demand. Parents are subjected to agencies which have set the limits of parental control. Thus forcing parents to fear their own children. This places the family unit at risk and a forced division of the home. Parents are at their wits-end, and the youths are laughing at them. Children dare their parents to deny them their demands by telling the parents that the parents do not have the right to discipline their children and assign responsibilities. This is not true.
Neither the youths, nor their parents, should be subjected to abuse from the other. President Bush said it all, when in his State of the Union Address, he said, “ Pull your children close to you”.
The Patriot Cadets Program is a safe and legal way for parents to regain their parental rights to a certain degree and learn to interactively discipline their children. This program, in so many ways, is lessening the burdens of our government by not having these young people fill the courts with juvenile delinquency, of which the system is already overloaded.
The Patriot Cadets Program combats community deteriation, by helping to remove some of the juvenile crime from the communities, therefore, lessening our neighborhood tensions. Patriot cadets learn to respect and refrain from the destruction of others property.
Patriot Cadets Volunteers willingly assist cadets with school subjects, when possible, on a one-to-one basis, as well as their parents and schools. Our volunteers help the advancement of student education.
Patriot Cadets strives to build a bond between our youth and parents, along with their communities, to lessen some of the prejudices and discrimination, by instilling in our cadets, that everyone is the same.
While Patriot Cadets cannot help every troubled youth, those that we can will hopefully pass on to future generations what they have learned and care enough to be there for future young people.
Not all of the Patriot Cadet youth are at risk children. Patriot Cadets are also youth that want to feel that they are a part of a program to help them grow and achieve without today’s peer pressures. Some youth want to be socially active in a safe environment, and some just want the chance to get military knowledge to start thinking about careers.
