Service

If you enlist in the U.S. military, you will receive training and learn skills that can transfer to a career. You will also have the opportunity to continue your education later using GI Bill benefits.

AmeriCorps offers another opportunity for service. You can participate in projects that serve communities in need, like home building or disaster cleanup. You will also receive an education award you can use to go back to

Today's Military Ways to Serve

University of North Georgia-The Military College of Georgia

The University of North Georgia's (UNG) Corps of Cadets will host National Leadership Challenge (NLC) Weekend  on November 4-6, 2022 for JROTC cadets and other high school students who are considering a military program in college. 

Your students will rappel down a sheer rock cliff at the Army's Mountain Ranger Camp in Dahlonega, construct a rope bridge across a mountain stream, negotiate obstacle and leadership reaction course elements, observe demonstrations by UNG cadet organizations, and meet some of our cadets.  You will be assigned to small teams, and current UNG cadets mentor and guide you through the weekend's events. 

Participants sleep in rustic, 16-person cabins on bunk beds at Camp Wahsega, a 4-H Camp owned by the University System of Georgia, approximately one mile from the Mountain Ranger Camp, and ten miles from campus.  Men and women will occupy separate cabins.

NLC Weekend is offered twice per year (fall and spring), and space is limited to 200 students.
