Cadet Life Clubs

At West Point, cadets are encouraged to grow as leaders by serving others. They volunteer in local communities, mentor youth, support veterans, and take part in service projects like blood drives and environmental cleanups. Cadets also have access to a strong spiritual life, with chapels, religious services for many faiths, and opportunities for faith-based fellowship and reflection. These experiences help cadets build character, connect with others, and make a positive impact beyond the academy.
