About
Our Mission:
Students for Life of Illinois is an umbrella organization for the students in Illinois and surrounding states. We exist to help college students bring about a culture of life on their campuses by providing resources, training and support. We facilitate the sharing of ideas and resources to strengthen and unify the voice for the voiceless.
Our Activities:
Students for Life of Illinois(SFLI) is designed to improve and optimize the effectiveness of collegiate pro-life groups. We do this in the following ways:
- Group Optimization: SFLI works directly with students to build strong and effective pro-life groups to build a culture of life on campus.
- Annual Conference: The conference is the perfect opportunity for students to meet people from all over the state who are also pro-life and to obtain great ideas for what they can do with the pro-life group at their school.
- March for Life: We are working to increase the number of students who are able to go to the March by helping students to organize trips of their own and connecting student groups to make these inspiring adventures possible.
- Building a Pro-Life Presence: We think it is important to have a pro-life presence on every campus, however not every campus in Illinois has a pro-life student group. We are helping students around Illinois start their own pro-life organizations.
- SFLI Network: Comprised of over 23 campuses, our network keeps everyone up to date, allowing us to act fast to save lives effectively.
- Summer Leadership Retreat: Each summer we host a retreat to provide leadership training, inspiration and community to student leaders.
- SFLI Website: www.SFLillinois.org enables students to view pro-life events happening in their area and it provides a forum to advertise their pro-life events. The website also supplies resources and ideas for individual pro-life groups.
- Pregnancy Resources: If a college woman decides not to have an abortion, she needs love and support so that she can finish her education and support her child. SFLI helps to discover and distribute pregnancy resources to the students who need them. We connect students with existing Crisis Pregnancy Centers and hope to start new student run crisis pregnancy centers where they are needed.
