PARTICIPATE IN YOUR COMMUNITY

“Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what
you can do for your country.” –John F. Kennedy

Community service through volunteering is an opportunity to give back to your community. We have provided several resources for students to volunteer in Montana. Volunteering not only gives back to the community, it also builds knowledge about community needs. It builds relationships and social connections with peers and adults. It unites us as Montanans and Americans into a common goal of service. Take the opportunity to view our service links. There are so many opportunities to make our already incredible state more amazing.
