Before Enlisting typically goes into classrooms and offers presentations to high schoolers and youth groups across the Bay Area. In 2020 we also developed an online presentation, briefly explained in this video. The program includes the short documentary, "Before You Enlist," supplemental videos of Bay Area veterans telling their stories and experts giving advice, materials to test your knowledge, and information about job alternatives and funding higher education. We have resources for teachers to guide you and your students through the content. Articles detailing other hard truths about serving in the military are also available, as well as news articles on relevant current events.
