BCYC Leadership Pro-Life Leadership Track
Track Dates: June 8-13, 2025
Abortion is one of the greatest human injustices in our time, and so the fight against it is of the utmost importance. In the Pro-Life Leadership program for high school students, teens will learn the importance of becoming a leader in the pro-life movement. They will develop the skills and confidence necessary to invite their peers to become part of the pro-life movement, to teach others about the importance of speaking up for life, and how to begin or improve a pro-life group at their parish or in their community.
