The Truth in Recruiting Campaign seeks to limit the influence of military recruiters on middle and high school kids, to help these kids make well reflected career choices, and to provide information on jobs and training and nonviolent ways to financing college. A particular emphasis is placed on bringing awareness of possible dangers of joining the military and false promises made by recruiters.

How you can help:

If you are a parent, protect the contact, academic and personal information of your child by downloading the Request to Restrict Privacy Form available here. Sign it and deliver it to your child’s school. Take copies to the parents of other children in your family and of your friends. Encourage them to do the same.

If you are a student, guard your own private information by asking your parent (if you are under 18) to sign the request. Make sure your friends know this is the only way to keep recruiters away from all your files and records.

If you are a Veteran, speak frankly about recruiting and military life to young adults and volunteer to answer the requests for contact we receive from them.

If you are concerned about the access recruiters have to students and their records in our schools, contact School Administrators and Guidance Counselors. Ask that representatives of Truth in Recruiting be given equal access.

If you know young adults considering military service, download and distribute the pre-enlistment materials available on this site.

If you know of a church or community group that would invite our speakers or distribute our literature to young adults, let us know.
