Standing With You (SWY) thanks all the amazing student groups that carry the torch for pregnant and parenting students every year on campus. These groups have truly shined in their supportive service work, and we wanted to highlight what they’ve accomplished this year!
January’s Standing With You Student Group of the Month was University of Notre Dame Right to Life!
Through their “Be Not Afraid” project, they provide childcare, meal trains, baby showers, and transportation for pregnant and parenting students. They are responding to real situations, which is inspiring for all campus groups. You can read more about what they have done for parents on their campus here.
February’s Standing With You Student Group of the Month was Arizona State University Students for Life.
This group is on fire for Life, especially when it comes to supporting Pregnancy Help Centers (PHCs) and mamas in need! This year, the group hosted an Unplanned Billboard Truck Movie Screening, multiple Rosary prayer events, and a diaper drive for Aid to Women Center that brought in over 2,400 diapers and 72 bags of baby wipes.
March’s Standing With You Student Group of the Month was Ohio State University Lima-Rhodes Students for Life!
In addition to their campus activism, the group planned and hosted a pro-life gala that raised over $1,200 for their local PHCs. Currently, they are working on creating gift baskets for expectant local moms in need.
April’s Standing With You Student Group of the Month was Oregon State University Students for Life!
The group held a diaper drive and partnered with their local PHC to distribute the resources. They will also host a mobile life-affirming clinic on campus and the Glorify Project. We are so excited to see what this group accomplishes in the upcoming semester!
May’s Standing With You Student Group of the Month was Marymount University Campus Ministry Pro-Life Club!
This group hosted our first Standing With You Pregnant and Parenting Student Resource Symposium! Through the event, the group educated their campus about what support exists already for parenting students, and opened the floor to hear from parenting students about how the school could better support them. Read more about these events here.
School is out for the summer, but that doesn’t mean the work stops when it comes to supporting pregnant and parenting students! To get more involved with Standing With You on campus, visit StandingWithYou.org or email [email protected].
