As we wrap up after the National March for Life, a whirlwind week of pro-life engagement in Ottawa, we’re now preparing for one of our next big endeavors: educating and uplifting the next generation of pro-life leaders through our 2023 Summer Internship Program!

We’re getting ready to welcome seven incredible young pro-lifers to our team, who have already demonstrated a commitment to the cause, but we need your help! Four of them are starting Monday, and the rest are joining us in July.

The Trudeau government continues to discriminate against pro-lifers.

Pro-life groups remain barred from receiving funding through the Canada Summer Jobs program, so we rely 100% on you, our donors, to keep our internship program going.

This year, we have a $60,000 fundraising goal—just a fraction of what the government is doling out willy-nilly to the abortion lobby—and we hope we can depend on the same generosity that permitted us to reach our goal, last year. Please donate today.

Our internship program goes a long way in helping extend our reach, from laying the groundwork for upcoming elections to our street activism and advocacy work.

These young people are formed into warriors prepared to do battle in our culture war through weekly seminars and activism and rotating through various departments in our office.

The impact of the internship lasts well beyond the summer; it transforms their very lives, and that’s why we say repeatedly that it’s an investment in the next generation of pro-life leaders, and it’s true, because I'm speaking from my own experience, and that of my fellow youth coordinator Kim. We both interened a few summers ago, and now we work for CLC, helping organize events like the National March for Life, local 40 Days for Life vigils, and fighting for life and family policies at the United Nations. 

Here are some of the testimonies from last year’s summer interns:

“You feel part of a movement greater than yourself, that you’re doing something highly heroic even, which is, saving lives.” ~Angelica, Summer '22

“My experience this summer was extremely formative, giving me a much deeper insight into the importance of pro-life organizations such as CLC, and making me realize how much worse the world would be without them. Overall, I loved just how well-rounded the internship was, from learning apologetics and then being able to then use those apologetics in our conversations in the street, and even in our articles and blogs.” ~Mary, Summer '22

“My experience this summer has absolutely been life changing.” ~Catherine, Summer '22

“My summer was incredible; the internship is incredibly formative and really focused on helping me develop my interpersonal skills. I like how the office and the people who worked with us and treated us as adults who were learning, I felt a sense of community and honesty like a part of a family. I know I have grown as a person, and that is thanks to the incredible role models who work at CLC” ~Sarah, Summer '22

So, once again, please consider donating to our internship fundraiser.

If you can’t donate, can you share this link on your social media or over email or WhatsApp with friends and family members?

Please pray for our interns. Pray for a fruitful experience. Pray that they may become the courageous young men and women God needs them to be.

Thank you!
