Talent Pipeline
Launching Leaders Into the Pro-Life MovementWhat is the Talent Pipeline?
Students for Life of America's mission is to abolish abortion in our lifetime. The Talent Pipeline is the structured pathway to take students from activists to lifelong leaders within the broader pro-life movement.
Since 2006, over 350 alumni have gone on to serve the pro-life movement through part-time and full-time roles, internships, and volunteer leadership — especially with the Campaign for Abortion Free Cities. SFLA alumni are currently serving at nearly 200 pro-life, conservative, or religious organizations and government offices or agencies.
Gavin Oxley
"SFLA did not just help me launch my career; it gave me a career in the movement. I joined SFLA as the Virginias Regional Coordinator just two days following graduation from college. I had had no prior intention of working in the pro-life movement, or politics in general, and had expected my time in the movement to be transient, but SFLA cultivated the best in me. I credit my trajectory to SFLA President Kristan Hawkins and her leadership team, who saw a seed of leadership in me that I didn’t perceive at the time. "

Emily Berning
"Being involved with SFLA completely set the course for my life and career. Today, I run a nonprofit that my husband, Nathan, and I founded in 2019 called Let Them Live, which has raised millions of dollars to financially support over 1,000 women and help them cancel their abortions. I really believe my time with SFLA gave me the foundation I needed to get here. They equipped me, pushed me to be bold, and helped me discover that my true passion was in the pro-life movement."

Texas State Representative Briscoe Cain
"My time as a campus activist with Students for Life of America taught me how to engage with total strangers on complex topics like policy and politics — skills that are especially important for anyone considering a run for public office."
