Providing a balanced view
Project YANO's goal is to help young people see a different side to these issues so they will have a more balanced picture and be able to make educated decisions about their future. We encourage them to think critically, search for more information, and then make up their own minds.
Protecting student privacy
Since its founding, Project YANO has sought to educate school officials about the need to give students a more balanced view on the military. We have also urged schools to make students and their families more aware of how to protect their privacy by using their right to opt out if student information is going to be released to military recruiters.
Sharing resources
Project YANO’s direct outreach focuses on young people in San Diego County, but we also provide resources and advice to other groups across the country. Our resource library includes tools that can be used to organize similar efforts in other communities.
