The ACTIV8 Pro-Life Week is open to anyone aged 18 years or older (with exceptions considered on a case-by-case basis).
It is five days, from Monday to Friday, of living in community and growing in knowledge and practical skills with other awesome people from all over the country (and sometimes overseas attendees as well).

Along with these, we also hear powerful testimonies from people engaged at the coalface on these issues, take time each day for silent personal reflection, gather in small groups to discuss what we are learning, watch and discuss films that artistically grapple with pro-life issues in profoundly deep and important ways, AND LOTS MORE!
Our Pro-Life Week offers something for everyone, regardless of prior knowledge or life experience.
