The North Star Fellowship: Launching a generation of pro-life leaders shaping media, culture, and faith.

June 3-7, 2026 | Orange County, CA

The North Star Fellowship is Live Action’s inaugural, invitation-only program for early-career professionals ready to shape the future of culture. This is not a seminar, a credential, or open enrollment. This is formation for action.

Fellows will sharpen their understanding of what has led to our current cultural crisis and how to respond with clarity and conviction. The fellowship begins with a preliminary curriculum and culminates in a five-day intensive in Orange County, CA. Fellows who are accepted to the program will receive a $1,500 travel stipend.

As one of the first Fellows, you will:
  • Conversation with small group

    Foster the ethical and philosophical foundations that shape a culture of life

  • Persuasive communication

    Sharpen your reasoning, argumentation, and persuasive communication skills

  • Leadership training

    Receive hands-on media and leadership training tailored to your sector: policy, media, or faith

  • Small group learning

    Join a small (about 50), high-trust cohort of ambitious peers committed to influencing institutions and culture

Be a part of what will be an alumni network across media, policy/government, and faith institutions that maintains lifelong relationships and ongoing access to special events, mentors, and other opportunities.

This fellowship demands commitment, curiosity, and courage, but in return, it is your chance to be a founding member of a network designed to amplify your impact.

If you are principled, ambitious, and ready to build, this is your invitation to step forward and become a virtuous subversive. Applications for this inaugural, hand-selected cohort are limited.

Fellowship Tracks

  • Where cultural leadership takes root

    Each Fellow joins one of these tracks, while benefiting from cross-cohort collaboration and shared formation. North Star Fellows will be a network of aligned leaders in key cultural sectors who will assist and collaborate on creating a lasting culture of life.

  • Media Leaders 

    The battle of ideas is waged online and through stories. The Media track equips Fellows to become persuasive communicators who can craft narratives, leverage platforms, and shape public opinion with integrity and skill. Through expert-led training, Fellows learn how to harness media as a force for truth and influence.

  • Policy Leaders

    Laws shape culture, but leaders shape laws. The Policy track prepares Fellows to navigate the complex world of legislation, strategy, and coalition-building. With guidance from seasoned practitioners, Fellows gain insights into the policymaking process, explore ethical frameworks, and develop the leadership instincts needed to influence decision-makers and advance a culture of life from the top down.

  • Faith Leaders

    Faith remains one of the most powerful forces in shaping hearts and communities. The Faith track forms leaders who can renew and strengthen their communities with conviction and clarity. Fellows explore timeless principles, learn from leaders in theology and ministry, and build the confidence to speak with both courage and compassion in the public square.
