For 15 years, ACTIV8 has been equipping Kiwis to become a more effective and compassionate voice on abortion, euthanasia, and other issues pertaining to human dignity at our annual ACTIV8 Pro-Life Training Week. Then in 2025 we expanded our mission and launched the annual ACTIV8 Pro-Life Youth Camp.
Our Pro-Life Youth Camp is open to any young person who is aged 16 to 25. Our Pro-Life Training Week is open to anyone over eighteen who wants to grow in their knowledge, and become more effective at living and building the culture of life in their personal life and local community.
Everyone from politicians, to lawyers, to doctors, to teachers, to nurses, to pastors and youth leaders, to high school and university students, to mums and dads have been inspired and empowered by attending ACTIV8 events.
We are dedicated to organising life changing events that offer quality intellectual formation; equip participants with the practical tools to make a meaningful difference; and draw people deeper into goodness, truth, and beauty!
“ACTIV8 has changed my perspective about the safeguarding of human life in my role as a future doctor. I cannot thank you enough. Please don’t stop. We need you.”
“ACTIV8 Pro-Life Youth Camp was phenomenal, fun, and very informative. I feel much more confident, like I can talk to someone now.”

“Informative. Heartfelt. Empowering. Perfectly enclosed within the boundaries of love, truth, and beauty. Thank you for your time, vision, and caring.”
“The strength I have gained from ACTIV8 has given me so much hope. To know there are other people with the same conviction gives me hope whenever I think about those that have suffered and those that are suffering.”
“The ACTIV8 Pro-Life Training Week has been absolutely amazing! I learned so much and met some amazing people. I Would highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in being a more effective voice for the voiceless.”
“One of the best weeks of my life. Just incredible. So encouraging, and so so challenging. I can think of no way to commend it highly enough!”
“The ACTIV8 Pro-Life Youth Camp has been an incredible experience, and I cannot recommend it more to any young person curious to make their mind up regarding abortion.”

“The ACTIV8 Pro-Life Training Week has been extremely valuable. Would absolutely recommend! I didn’t just take away greater conviction and knowledge, but an encompassing approach to the broader culture we live in. There is hope.”
“A friend encouraged me to come and said that I’d learn a lot, and boy was she right! I’ve always had a passion to protect the unborn, but this week has reignited the fire inside me to do more and to love more.”
“ACTIV8 Pro-Life Youth Camp was so awesome! I learned so much, and I feel inspired to defend the vulnerable. Thank you!”

“Getting to talk openly about being pro-life is rare and this was such an open and loving community that helped me not only talk about life but learn and grow so much too! Thank you!”
“I always knew that life was precious, but I always avoided thinking about abortion and euthanasia, or researching things because I knew if I did I would feel the discomfort of tackling these big issues. The ACTIV8 Pro-Life Training Week was the experience I needed. It gave me the courage to realise the gift of life is far bigger, far more important, than any discomfort or fear I might feel.”
“ACTIV8 Pro-Life Youth Camp was honestly one of the best camps I’ve been to - real, honest, and powerful! I came away equipped with way more confidence, clarity, and conviction!”
“The ACTIV8 Pro-Life Training Week has been phenomenal. It is easy to sink into despair, but finding myself surrounded by people for whom beauty, truth, and goodness is so highly prized has been so refreshing. Thank you so much.”
“ACTIV8 Pro-Life Youth Camp has left me feeling encouraged and equipped to go forward and build a culture of life in my home and community”
“The ACTIV8 Pro-Life Training Week was a deeply formative experience and a poignant call/commission to participate in building the culture of life. The content and contributors were brilliantly insightful and the challenge to practically outwork our learnings and convictions was headed with great courage for the sake of the vulnerable and in the hope of a brighter future.”
“ACTIV8 gave me the foothold to not only stand, but the depth and courage to have a voice.”
