Past Launches
Launch was life-changing.
- MIRIAM
This was incredible!
- AUDREY
I learned and retained a ton of info.
- JACKIE
Launch tackled all of the big questions. Nothing was taboo. [I] have been reminded to engage in the pro-life conversation simply in day to day conversations instead of only ‘doing’ pro-life stuff.
- SAVANNA
Launch so informative and fun! I LOVED listening to Alan explain abortion and cloning because he was so informative. I also loved listening to Jessica because she had so much information on past abortion cases.
- SAMANTHA
I liked the Portland trip and talking to people up there. I also enjoyed the euthanasia session because we mostly hear about abortion stuff.
- MARY
I had an amazing experience at Launch! I learned better arguments and reasons to defend my pro-life stance. I had an amazing time at this retreat.
- JOANNA
I loved Alan’s session because it was really interesting. I liked the Portland field trip best because it pushed me out of my comfort zone.
- ANNA
The best part of the Launch training was learning to persuasively convince people that life is valuable.

Launch is a leadership retreat that covers virtually all aspects of careers that have contact with abortion: education, social services, politics, and medicine. During Launch, students learn that they don’t have to be a “professional” pro-life advocate to save lives. There are practical ways they can live a pro-life lifestyle and help save babies.
Launch is held at Macleay Retreat Center in Salem, Oregon.
