What is Emerging Leaders?

Our goal is to empower each other--young adults and college students--to create a positive social and intellectual climate for marriage. We are doing this by providing education and resources for each other, creating a sense of community in our age group and with professionals that advocate marriage, and inspiring each other to be involved in the marriage movement.


Students for the Family Gets Conference Rolling

Students for the Family, a volunteer organization run by students and young professionals, recently successfully completed a fund raising campaign to fund a large regional conference in October. With the help of an online donations platform, over 40 students helped to solicit small donations from almost 400 donors, to reach a goal of $8000. Congratulations to SFTF for all their hard work!
