How it Works
Storytelling and Discussion.
This program creates a free online library of high quality videos of real people who have experienced abortion and other anti-life issues. They tell their stories, along with relative facts, allowing students to hear about the issues first-hand and have an informed discussion.
Watch and Learn.
These videos are no longer than 15 minutes in order to fit in a class period and allow time for classroom discussion. Each video is accompanied by a teacher’s guide, or “Lesson Helper,” with suggested discussion questions, activities, resources, and other information for teachers.
Experience and Act.
After watching the videos and learning, teachers can motivate and empower their students to experience and defend the pro-life movement by:
1) Attending the March for Life Chicago
2) Participating in our Student Oratory Contest.
Turn Illinois Pro-Life.
Through education, we can change minds, motivate students to take action, and empower the next generation of pro-lifers with science and the facts to turn our state pro-life.
Why it’s Important
That’s why the Heart2Heart program is so important. We need to reach our young adults and educate them on the pro-life values in high school, before college…and it’s working.
After participating in the program, 94% of pro-choice and pro-life students have said they felt more pro-life!
