Counter Recruitment

The WRL’s Youth and Counter Militarism Project, based in New York City, provides young people with the resources and training necessary to agitate against military recruitment in their schools and communities. Our main focus is the Not Your Soldier Project.

Our long term goal is to bring youth organizers and young veterans together to help build a unified, national anti-war movement. To help accomplish this, we produce materials, conduct trainings, and work in a number of national coalitions.

Get connected to youth counter recruitment activists all over the country. Check out DMZ: A Guide to Taking Your School Back from the Military an organizing guide for high school students interested in keeping the military out of our schools. We offer counter recruitment workshops and trainings for students, activists, and educators on a regular basis. Email youth@warresisters.org for more information.
