OUR MISSION IS:
To bring together a network of organizations and individuals to counteract the growing intrusion of the military in the lives of young people in the North Texas area
To raise awareness of and mobilize against the aggressive and deceptive recruiting tactics of the military
To provide information and resources to the North Texas community about non-military vocational and educational alternatives
---------------------------
Founded out of the grassroots, non-hierarchical anti-war coalition that came together to produce the 2 Years 2 Long peace demonstration in March 2005, Peaceful Vocations has grown into an effective vehicle through which many students continue to learn the facts about military enlistment, war, and the many alternatives to the G.I. life.
We are an all-volunteer, consensus-based collective made up of service industry employees teachers, artists, nurses, attorneys, and union organizers.
Peaceful Vocations is one of hundreds of organizations working across the nation to counter the military’s presence in public schools. We provide meaningful and necessary information about vocational and higher educational alternatives to military recruitment.
We reach students in Fort Worth public schools by tabling during lunch hours, making classroom presentations, hanging hallway posters, and placing our literature in the counselors’ offices. We provide all of these services at no cost to students.
Your donations will go towards the ongoing need for outreach and informational materials
(pamphlets, flyers, posters, etc).
