Invictus Men’s Fellowship

Are you a man who is a leader or officer in your campus pro-life group?  Do you want to be mentored by a national pro-life leader? Then this is the Fellowship for you!

THE MISSION

There is a need in society today to strengthen men as we seek to empower women and abolish abortion. Cultural, political, and academic decisions the American public have made in the past 70 years have contorted the American perspective on masculinity, fatherhood, and male leadership.

These contortions can all be tangibly seen in the pro-life movement as the majority of men feel that they cannot voice their opinion on pro-life policy or be a resounding example of a pro-life leader in their area of influence. In an attempt to create strong men, whom can be pro-life leaders in their chosen profession (whether that be in the political, business, academic, medical, or non-profit sphere), the Invictus Fellowship was born.

This fellowship will heavily involve young men with strong leadership potential in the practicum of pro-life apologetics, civic engagement, and in various discussions ranging from self-identity to responsibility. As a result, Invictus Fellows will be better prepared to actively engage in the Pro-Life Movement where their skills can be best utilized as we strive to create a culture where abortion is unthinkable, and all lives are recognized as intrinsic valuable.

THE KICK-OFF

All SFLA Invictus Fellows will be flown to Jacksonville, Florida for the kick-off weekend training from Friday, March 13^th through Sunday, March 15^th, 2020.  Flights, housing, and meals in the Jacksonville area will be covered by Students for Life of America.

Learn what it takes to be a leader by reviewing various books and publications and participating in bi-weekly webcasts for discussion and guest speaker lectures.
Apply the skills they learn to complete an Invictus project, designed by the student for their unique campus and community needs.
Work with their Invictus mentor (a leader in a national pro-life organization) who will give advice and help them complete their project.

The fellowship will consume a few hours per week.
No financial stipends or pay is available.
Your travel, housing, and food costs during the kick-off weekend will be covered.
Any additional meals in the airport or beyond the meal stipends are the Fellow’s responsibility. The meal stipend is usually more than enough.
