Dear John, We've been prioritizing reaching and training Oregon's youth for a long time. It's really exciting and rewarding to watch them change the movement for the better. Bethany Janzen (right) is one of those people. She went to our youth leadership retreat, Launch, then interned with us. She went on to work for Students for Life of America. Now she is the director of international development for ProLife Europe and the director of strategy at Youth fro Life Austria. Joelle Lucas (left) is another Launch graduate and former intern who is shaking things up abroad! She is pursuing graduate studies in England and running a pro-life club at Durham University. This photo is from a tabling event they held together for Joelle's club. Bethany isn't the only Launch graduate to go on and work professionally in the pro-life movement. Joelle is far from the only one inspired to devote countless unpaid hours to the cause. We have so many grads personally attesting to how life-changing it is. The next Launch is around the corner, from March 22-25. Can you please help us reach the next leaders? Who in your life can you refer to Launch? Let them know that applications are open now. (For the first time this year, we'll be reviewing completed applications as we get them. So no more waiting!) Because everyone deserves an advocate, Lois Anderson |
