JL's Smashing it for JT!
/
If you need inspiration to get you motivated for 2016 look no further than the Air Cadet Junior Leaders Course XVII.
The Junior Leaders (JL's) is the toughest but most rewarding of the Air Cadets leadership courses – any Cadet that makes it through has the makings of a very successful leader. As part of their assessment they are tasked with planning, organising and implementing a fundraising activity or event and the JTYAF is privileged to be the recipient charity for these activities.

Since 2010 the Air Cadet Junior Leaders have raised an incredible £80,000 for the John Thornton Young Achievers Foundation! The Cadets on Course XVII are now in Phase 2 of their training and they have organised some amazing challenges to raise funds.
