I had an amazing time at St. Francis high school today. Loved even seeing two of my favorite girls! I feel so lucky to have this opportunity to share with students my story and what I have learned. If my talk helps even just one student it is all worth it for me! -speaker Maddy Kirchen

Two of our EmpowerARC speakers Jeromy Darling and Abigail Halvorson were featured in this year’s J4G magazine put out by HLA. Human Life Alliance has distributed about 50 thousand copies of "Just for Girls/Just for Guys" magazines all over the country. That's reaching about a quarter of a million as we know that each magazine reaches about 5 readers. This was a really cool way for our speakers to share their stories of waiting with even more youth!
