Become a Program Mentor

The mission of the Students for Life of America (SFLA) National Leaders Collective (NLC) is to raise up the next generation of pro-life leaders. We want to train student pro-life activists to be leaders on campus and beyond. To foster their interest in a pro-life career, we provide student leaders with networking opportunities within the national pro-life movement to help further develop their skills. Simply put, the NLC is the training you need for a career in the pro-life movement!

All of SFLA’s fellowships include mentorship from a leader in the pro-life movement who is working full-time to abolish abortion. There are also other opportunities for pro-life professionals to share their experience with students interested in pursuing a pro-life career.

What does mentoring look like?

 A good relationship between a mentor and mentee can be established through regular communication with a leader within the pro-life movement who has experience in the fellow’s area of interest. Mentorship occurs at least four times during the year (September to April) through a medium of communication that works best for mentor and mentee (typically video chats or phone calls). Supplemental materials are provided to help guide discussion. Mentors and mentees establish goals together and grow together as pro-life leaders.

What kind of mentorship does an NLC mentor offer a student?

  1. Insight into their career field to help the student determine if they want to pursue a job in this field.
  2. Tips on developing professional networks.
  3. Tips on identifying opportunities within the movement after graduation.
  4. An NLC mentor does not need to mentor the student on their SFLA fellowship project but is welcome to offer assistance with it if asked.

            Why become an SFLA mentor?

            Mentors for the National Leaders Collective receive:

            1. Exclusive invites to events throughout the year.
            2. Opportunities to connect with career driven students who could one day join your organization’s team.
            3. Opportunities to recruit and develop relationships with future volunteers.
            4. Discounts to special SFLA events like the National Pro-Life Summit.

                Who qualifies as a mentor?

                A mentor can be any individual who works full-time in a job that serves the pro-life movement with one or more years of career experience.  Mentors are selected based on the needs of the fellows in the program.

                    Become a Program Speaker

                    Leaders in the pro-life movement can also offer helpful insight and assist in equipping the Pro-Life Generation through speaking on leadership program calls. If you are interested in speaking on a fellowship call in addition to mentoring a fellow, please specify on the form below.

                    Please note that completing this form doesn’t guarantee that you’ll be matched with a mentee if for example, we don’t have a student whose interests match your area of expertise.
