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," videos of Bay Area veterans telling their stories, experts giving advice, materials to test your knowledge, and information about job alternatives and funding higher education. If you are a teacher, check out our detailed lesson plans, guiding you and your students through the content. Contact us at beforeenlisting(at)gmail(dot)com
