Launching Leaders
into the pro-life movement
What 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.
Students for Life of America alumni are doing amazing work for LIFE. Read these incredible stories from SFLA leaders who went on to work in the pro-life movement in a variety of different capacities.
