Volunteer to Help the NYCLU Survey NYC High School Students on Military Recruitment in their Schools

New York’s students need your help.

Military recruiters in schools are using heavy-handed tactics to harass students, violate their privacy rights, and target low income students and students of color.

The NYCLU, in collaboration with the Students or Soldiers? Coalition* and the Office of the Manhattan Borough President, is conducting a large-scale survey of New York City high school students in order to find out more information on how military recruiters target NYC schools. We will be asking questions about opt-out procedures, recruiter access to classrooms, school counseling services, etc.

The Students or Soldiers? Coalition will be conducting a training for surveyors on the evening of Wednesday, April 11th at 6:30pm. We need volunteers to survey students exiting designated schools during the afternoons of Monday, April 16th and Wednesday, April 18th.

Please RSVP to arosmarin@nyclu.org if you’d like to attend the training or have questions about the surveying project. You can also RSVP by calling 212-607-3358.
