Heart2Heart Educational Program Team Presentation

Using the leading research on how students learn most effectively and retain information, our brand new educational program combines storytelling and facts to be most effective and turn hearts pro-life. The Heart2Heart Program is a free online library of professionally filmed videos that serve to teach students pro-life values on various pro-life issues. Each video is accompanied by a leader guide/lesson helper in order to arm teachers with the resources to teach pro-life values in their classrooms.  To learn more about our program, click here.

That being said, Illinois Right to Life is ready and happy to bring our groundbreaking new video series – right to you! In a multimedia presentation, our staff can play one or more of the educational videos, talk about and develop the learning objectives of each video, and then facilitate an interactive discussion with your students, your parishioners, pro-life club or community group members.

If you would like us to come your school, church, or organization and give a Heart2Heart presentation, email us at [email protected] or call 312.422.9300.
