COLE VALLEY CLUB AMERICA 

Cole Valley Club America at Cole Valley Christian School in Idaho was established in February 2026 and now has 65 active members. The group hosted over 10events on campus this year, including a diaper drive, attended and tabled at the Boise March for Life with 34 students, and volunteered monthly at a local women’s shelter where they evangelized to the women, hosted a worship night, and prepared and served food. In addition, they took their group to downtown Boise twice to oppose an extreme abortion ballot initiative by expressing their pro-life beliefs through chalk art on the streets. They even won the Most Creative Award for National Chalk Day with SFLA! The group was nominated for hosting a diaper drive at their school that collected over 5,500 diapers and for their work to battle the extreme abortion ballot initiative in Idaho. 

Cole Valley Club America Top Accomplishment in the 2025-2026 Academic Year: 

Diaper Drive Collecting 5,500 Diapers 

At their campus, Cole Valley Club America set up multiple diaper drive bins for their school community to donate diapers to a local Pregnancy Center. The diaper drive was held for one month, and by the end, there were over 120 packages of diapers donated, with a total of 5,773 individual diapers. The team of students took these diapers and dropped them off at the local Pregnancy Center, where they then helped set up the center’s new facility with these resources. Their goal was to assist struggling mothers with physical resources so that they would be more open to choosing Life for their babies. 

COMING SOON IN 2026-2027 . . .

Cole Valley Club America hopes to continue their leadership on campus by hosting a pro-life speaker at their school, volunteering monthly with their local Pregnancy Center, and recruiting 15 new members to grow their group to 80 members during the 2026-2027 academic year. They also hope to continue hosting Pro-Life Apologetics training for their group members every semester. 

The group’s ultimate goal is to make their community more like Christ and to choose Life for preborn babies! By bringing pro-life speakers to their school, they hope to inspire students to act and become more passionate in their beliefs. Local and political outreach is also very important to Cole Valley Club America. Even though they live in a state where abortion is currently very limited, Big Abortion is actively trying to take ground. They plan to protect preborn babies by continuing to door knock in their community and at their State University, tabling at local events, and partnering with the state’s pro-life organizations. This group intends to do everything they can in their community to oppose this upcoming extreme abortion ballot initiative and to defeat the Abortion Goliath.

GENERALS FOR LIFE 

Generals for Life at Louisiana State University of Alexandria was established in August 2025and now has 10 active members. The group hosted 12 events on campus this year, including the Fall and Spring campus tours. They participated in the school’s organization fair and talked to over 100 students, organized pro-life prayer vigils, educational trainings, and a toy drive, attended the National Pro-Life Marcy as well as the local March for Life, worked with the local Pregnancy Center, and worked alongside Louisiana Right to Life to help them host the Geaux Forth event for over 100 local Louisiana high school students the day before the March. They were nominated for quickly establishing a strong presence on their campus and spreading the word about their local Pregnancy Center through referrals and volunteering!  

Generals for Life’s Top Accomplishment in the 2025-2026 Academic Year: 

Establishing a Strong Presence on Campus 

Once the foundation was laid and a passionate leadership team was selected, success naturally followed. Even though the club had only existed for two months, the group earned recognition from SFLA as October’s Club of the Month! That shows the dedication, consistency, and drive behind Generals for Life from the beginning. The group faced challenges and pushback from some students, but they remained respectful, professional, and committed to the pro-life mission. Instead of backing down, the group used those moments as opportunities for conversation, education, and outreach. Through every event and interaction, the group continued working to promote the dignity and value of every human life. They accomplished that mission and exceeded expectations in just nine months. Fittingly, that is the full term of a pregnancy, and in that time, the group was able to build, grow, and bring something meaningful to life on their campus. 

COMING SOON IN 2026-2027 . . .

Generals for Life hopes to continue their leadership on campus by hostinga pro-life cookoff where proceeds will go toward the local Pregnancy Center to support their efforts to provide resources and care to mothers in need during the 2026-2027 academic year. They also hope to continue attending and volunteering at the National Pro-Life March in Washington, D.C. each year until abortion is made unthinkable and continue their campus outreach through tours, frequent tabling, and hosting speakers to recruit new members and change hearts and minds.

Students for Life at University Gardens High School in Puerto Rico was established in Fall 2025and now has 14active members. The group held over 10events on campus this year, hosted Northern Regional Coordinator and Spanish Liaison Jose Guzman-Martinez, participated in both the Fall and Spring Pro-Life Chalk Days, and attended the Puerto Rico March for Life. They were nominated for being the first SFLA high school group to start in Puerto Rico, even amidst roadblocks from the school based on free speech and freedom of religion issues!  

Students for Life at University Gardens High School’s Top Accomplishment in the 2025-2026 Academic Year: 

Pregnancy Center Fundraiser Raising $600 

Students for Life at University Gardens High School connected with a church called “Iglesia Con Cuerdas de Amor” in Puerto Rico and raised over $600 worth of baby items for Hope Women’s Clinic, a local Pregnancy Center. And all this came after the faculty refused to let the group host this fundraiser at school! 

In just three weeks, the group collected boxes full of baby items including diapers, wipes, clothing, and even a highchair! Shortly after, they coordinated with Hope Women’s Clinic and made the item delivery to help moms choose Life. 

COMING SOON IN 2026-2027 . . .

Students for Life at University Gardens High School hopes to continue their leadership on campus by recruiting for their group and helping start groups at other high schools and colleges during the 2026-2027 academic year because a Regional Coordinator can’t travel to the island very frequently.
