“Student organizing & activist leadership development: for over 20 years, the foundation continues to serve as the state's only pro-choice organization to promote pro-choice activism and citizen involvement on campuses across the state. More than 300 young people have learned essential leadership skills during internships, and we are a leader in developing young activists for the progressive movement. We are currently organized on 13 campuses throughout the state. We bring our student leaders together 3 times a year in st paul, to provide hands on training and resources, and our campus organizers are critical for the recruitment of young people for our pro-choice lobby day, as well as securing electoral victories during election cycles.”

“Millennia engagement through a choice leadership institute and fellowship: in april 2012, the foundation launched its inaugural choice leadership institute and fellowship program to educate and engage the next generation of pro-choice leaders, also known as the millennial generation (born between 1980 and 1999). In 2013, the foundation hosted its second cohort of leaders and fellows, the choice leadership institute recruited members from throughout the state, and hosted a one-day informational training in northern minnesota to ensure a regionally diverse applicant pool. Upon the completion of the weekend long choice leadership institute training with 21 participants, the foundation accepted applicants to enter into a six month long fellowship program. Five fellows were chosen and paid a monthly stipend to create and execute an advocacy or education project of their choosing, i.e., additional research on crisis pregnancy centers, building relationships with non-traditional allies, or developing educational materials for sexual health providers. We aim to empower the fellows with self-directed engagement with choice issues they find to be relevant. Through the initial choice leadership institute and fellowship program, the foundation has empowered new and emerging leaders of the millennial generation to return to their community and continue the work towards reproductive freedom and justice, exemplified by letters to the editor, trainings currently being developed in participants' home communities and the community engagement work conducted by the fellows. With the completion of the choice leadership institute and fellowships, we have engaged and developed emerging leaders who will continue to be active in the local and global reproductive health, rights and justice communities, working to ensure safety and autonomy for our reproductive lives.”
