AFSC's Truth in Recruitment program works with youth, parents, and teachers interested in opposing the militarization of youth and works creatively for youth awareness of career alternatives.
Activities include:
Opt Out – This campaign, usually held in the fall, helps schools be aware of students rights to not have their names and information turned over to military recruiters.
Alternative Career Fair - College bound or not, many interesting and creative careers await youth besides military service. Fairs can be arranged at interested schools.
Social Justice Spring Break - Each year AFSC works with one school on a one week social justice intense training led by AFSC staff.
Peace, Here, There and Everywhere Summer Institute - a four week intense social justice training for high school aged social justice activists entering 10th, 11th, or 12th grade in Chicago Public schools.
