From 1997 to 2019, we did direct outreach in the public high schools in Austin, Texas as an alternative to military recruitment in the schools. We are committed to the use and advocacy of nonviolence. Our group has included students, teachers, activists, veterans and parents. We're on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/SOYPeaceOptions

School visits in Austin
We're continuing our school visits this fall. This week, Hart and I tabled at Austin HS along with a guest observer from Houston. On Oct. 16th, we were at Lanier, and we have upcoming dates scheduled at Travis, Akins and Garza High Schools. We're getting "It's My Life!" books out to the school libraries as well as using them as prizes for our peace wheel. The books now include a CD produced by the folks at AFSC with a pdf file of all kinds of job, education and travel opportunities focused in Texas. Hopefully, the pdf will be available online soon. I'll link it when it's up.
