Charlie Kirk Courage Fellows are  Students for Life leaders who focus on public policy outreach in their states. They are the main leaders on the ground that work with the Students for Life Action (SFLAction) team to abolish abortion in their states. If you are a politically minded college student who is interested in taking a more active role in advancing Life in law in your state, the Charlie Kirk Courage Fellowship is for you!

The Charlie Kirk Courage Fellowship trains the next generation of pro-life public policy leaders by preparing student pro-life activists to battle with the political class and win. This means passing pro-life legislation, defeating pro-abortion candidates, and testing your student government skills. Students in this fellowship are trained to make an impact at a school, local, state, and federal level.
