COUNTERING MILITARY RECRUITMENT
Who We Are
CCMR is a joint project of Eugene
PeaceWorks and Community
Alliance of Lane County.
CCMR aims to provide young people with information they need about
military service. Those considering military enlistment
need more
complete information to counter the inflated promises of military
recruiters.
CCMR has a presence in local high schools to help provide
such information. There is a special focus on informing rural,
low-income and youth of color, as they are targeted more often by
recruiters.
Also, under the No Child Left Behind Act, schools are
required to provide information about their students to recruiters.
CCMR is working to protect student privacy and help students and
parents understand that they may refuse to allow schools to give their
contact information to recruiters.
