Cadets volunteer with the Projects Abroad organization in Nepal, Cambodia, Costa Rica, and the Philippines, working alongside local hosts while engaging in service projects such as constructing schools and teaching English. 

These programs prepare cadets to work in unfamiliar terrain and cultural environments, which are critical skills for junior officers.

The U.S. Embassy internship program provides cadets with outstanding opportunities to learn about U.S. foreign policy in Serbia, Poland, Germany, North Macedonia, Turkey, Armenia, Italy, Poland, and Croatia. 

Cadets participate in multinational training events, attend high-level diplomatic engagements, and gain first-hand exposure to the political, economic, and diplomatic missions in U.S. embassies.  

Cadets are placed in Washington, D.C., with members of Congress where they learn first-hand about the political process and gain insights into the interagency process.
