G.I. Rights Hotline

Alaska Peace Center is organizing local training for volunteers interested in supporting our military through G.I. Rights Hotline counseling.

The G.I. Rights Hotline is a national 800 number staffed by trained volunteer counselors from a coalition of nonprofit, non-governmental organizations who provide information to members of the military about discharges, grievance and complaint procedures, AWOL regulations, conscientious objector procedures, and other civil rights.

Counselors will staff the phone line at the Center, meet regularly to work more difficult cases as a team, and update their training.

Please contact Alison Carter at alisoncarter2(at)yahoo.com or 459-2027 (days) 455-8661 (evenings) if you are interested in becoming a volunteer counselor or supporting the program through a financial contribution.
