MiGen Leads strives to educate, support, empower, and serve
MiGen Leads is a broad group of students from all backgrounds and walks of life committed to advocating for a choice for life and supporting women in need. Have fun, make connections, join in prolife service projects, and help people make a choice for life themselves! As the student and young adult outreach arm of Right to Life of Michigan (RLM), we adhere to the RLM Mission Statement and Goals and seek to build a culture in which all life is welcomed, valued and supported.
