Are you a man who is a leader or officer in your campus pro-life group? Do you want to be mentored by a national pro-life leader? Then this is the Fellowship for you!
THE MISSION
There is a need in society today to strengthen men as we seek to empower women and abolish abortion. Cultural, political, and academic decisions the American public have made in the past 70 years have contorted the American perspective on masculinity, fatherhood, and male leadership.
These contortions can all be tangibly seen in the pro-life movement as the majority of men feel that they cannot voice their opinion on pro-life policy or be a resounding example of a pro-life leader in their area of influence. In an attempt to create strong men, whom can be pro-life leaders in their chosen profession (whether that be in the political, business, academic, medical, or non-profit sphere), the Invictus Fellowship was born.
This fellowship will heavily involve young men with strong leadership potential in the practicum of pro-life apologetics, civic engagement, and in various discussions ranging from self-identity to responsibility. As a result, Invictus Fellows will be better prepared to actively engage in the Pro-Life Movement where their skills can be best utilized as we strive to create a culture where abortion is unthinkable, and all lives are recognized as intrinsic valuable.
