Cadets Experience Joy Serving Others

As stated by the great Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’” As part of a whole person education at RMA, cadets learn to do just that – help others.

Through service opportunities, including a partnership with the Rotary Club of Gainesville’s Ramp Building Project, cadets become active members of their community, acquire life-skills and provide selfless service to those who need it most. This year, several cadets participated in two ramp-building projects where they spent the weekend investing their time and talents to help others by building handicap-accessible ramps for those in need.

“To love what you do every day is truly a blessing. I am honored to have the chance to give back to our community as well as instill the importance of giving within our cadets.”

- Jamie Burkley, Director of Student Affairs While the day consists of hard work, cadets also have a great time. One of the greatest outcomes of the project is big smiles on the faces of all involved – especially on the faces of young men who understand that their work helped someone else.
