CHOICES: Young People, the Military and Alternatives That Can Make a Difference
Choices is computer software which educates young people about the realities of military enlistment, and presents alternatives for skills training, community service and college financial aid. Now available free via the Internet!
CHOICES (version 1.02c) is an interactive multimedia program designed to help teenagers explore their options when they are ready to leave high school.
Topics covered include:
- Facts you should know about military life before you enlist.
- Counseling resources: Organizations that can help people who change their
minds after enlisting.
- Where to find out about non-military college financial aid.
- Careers in peacemaking and social change: How to develop skills while
making a difference in the world, including a list of organizations offering
paid and volunteer opportunities.
- Images/sounds from past movements for social change which have had a
lasting effect on our society.
The examples of past movements for social change (labor, anti-war, suffrage,
civil rights and ecology) are illustrated with music and historical
photographs and include references for further reading.
This program is ideal for high school career centers, classrooms, youth
groups and libraries. Community organizers seeking to counter the presence of
military recruiters in schools are permitted to duplicate and distribute it
locally (postcard registration is required). The program is being made
available free via the Internet with assistance from the Institute for Global
Communications (http://www.igc.org).
CHOICES was produced by the Project on Youth and Non-Military Opportunities,
with support from the HKH Foundation, A.J. Muste Memorial Institute and Chace
Fund. To order the program on two 3-1/2" floppy disks, send $5 to: Project YANO, P.O. Box 230157, Encinitas, CA 92023; phone (760) 634-3604.
