About FFL

The mission of Friends for Life (FFL) is to equip and engage youth in the battle for life. Many young people are supportive of the pro-life movement yet lack critical tools necessary to educate peers and change culture. FFL answers this need through education and opportunities for action.

 Education

 Every Summer, FFL hosts a Pro-Life Boot Camp to educate students in intelligently defending life. Under the training of Scott Klusendorf, President of Life Training Institute, students learn to establish the humanity and personhood of the unborn arguing from science and philosophy, as well as how to properly respond to various objections to the pro-life position.

FFL also seeks to educate youth in the realm of politics. Students are given opportunities to interact with elected officials—not only at the Pro-Life Boot Camp but also at other events, such as the annual Student Day at the Indianapolis Statehouse—as well as instructed in the legislative process and on the status of legislation affecting life issues. 

Action

Once students are trained, FFL provides them with opportunities to engage the culture, such as the annual March for Life in Washington, D.C. 

 This event unites our students with hundreds of thousands of pro-life Americans in the nation’s capitol every January. Not only do we march with this large crowd, but we also use the opportunity to lobby lawmakers in favor of or in opposition to certain legislation.
