THE ORGANIZATION'S SCHOLARSHIP GRANT PROGRAM ENABLES STUDENTS AGED 16-24 TO ATTEND PROGRAMS SUCH AS SUMMIT MINISTRIES, TEEN PACT, PATRIOT ACADEMY, AND OTHER SUMMER LEARNING EXPERIENCES, ALL OF WHICH EMPHASIZE LEADERSHIP AND CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF A CHRISTIAN WORLDVIEW. THE ORGANIZATION HOSTS "PRO-LIFE, PRO-FAMILY DAYS" ANNUALLY AT THE STATE CAPITOL IN TALLAHASSEE. THIS COMPREHENSIVE TWO-DAY EVENT EQUIPS ATTENDEES WITH THE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS NECESSARY TO ENGAGE WITH LEGISLATORS, GAIN INSIGHT INTO THE LEGISLATIVE PROCESS, AND STAY INFORMED ABOUT CRITICAL ISSUES UNDER DISCUSSION DURING THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION. STUDENTS, PARENTS, PASTORS, PREGNANCY CENTER DIRECTORS, AND BUSINESS PROFESSIONALS TAKE PART. THE PRO-LIFE, PRO-FAMILY DAYS PROGRAM INCLUDES VISITS TO THE SUPREME COURT, TOURS OF THE HOUSE CHAMBERS, AND OPPORTUNITIES TO OBSERVE LIVE DEBATES IN LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEES.

LED BY A FULL-TIME DIRECTOR OF PASTORAL MINISTRIES, THIS PROGRAM BRIDGES THE GAP BETWEEN SPIRITUAL AND GOVERNMENTAL LEADERS. THE ORGANIZATION HOSTS AN ANNUAL DINNER, FEATURING NOTABLE SPEAKERS WHO FOCUS ON LIFE, MARRIAGE, FAMILY AND/OR RELIGIOUS LIBERTY. THROUGHOUT THE YEAR THE ORGANIZATION PROVIDES FLORIDIANS WITH UP-TO-DATE INFORMATION REGARDING EVENTS THAT IMPACT LIFE, MARRIAGE, FAMILY AND LIBERTY VIA MAILINGS, EMAIL BLASTS AND SOCIAL MEDIA POSTINGS.
