Applications Open for the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps 2024 International Exchange Program





The Sea Cadets International Exchange Program gives high school-aged cadets the opportunity to travel and learn about new cultures.

ARLINGTON, VA, April 15, 2024 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps (USNSCC) is accepting applications from qualified Sea Cadets for its Summer 2024 International Exchange Program now through Friday, April 19, 2024. Those selected will have the opportunity to travel to one of three countries – Canada, Japan, or South Korea – to interact with their Sea Cadet program and learn the country's culture.

"Participating in the Sea Cadets International Exchange Program is like unlocking a door to the world," says Jennifer Weggen, co-director of the program. "It offers the unique opportunity to immerse yourself into a different culture, visit places you've previously only admired in photos, and make lifelong friendships that span the globe, all while experiencing the maritime adventure of a lifetime. Cadets will return home transformed, having grown in ways they never imagined."

Participation in the 2024 International Exchange Program is open only to U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps cadets who are aged 16 - 17; currently in grades 9 - 11; are the rank of Sea Cadet petty officer third class (PO3) or above; and have a U.S. passport valid up to March 1, 2025.

All three 2024 Sea Cadet exchange programs will take place in late July and early August. In 2023, USNSCC cadets visited, toured, and trained with their counterparts in Canada and New Zealand.

More information about the program, including the application requirements and submission process are online at www.seacadets.org/iep/.
