The Red Lodge Area Community Foundation is working to connect all youth in our community and we need your help!

At the beginning of November, the Youth Champion Steering Committee had its first meeting this year, with a great turn-out of about 20 people (Click here to see a document with notes from the meeting). The group’s purpose is to focus on youthdevelopment within our community, bringing together voices of various backgrounds. The goal is to enhance and create change for the disconnected youth in our community, by adding to the services and programs that are already excelling. From this meeting, we are splitting into action committee groups, focused on various areas of youth development.

If you are interested in youth development, we would love for you to participate in one or more action committees that are of interest. The 8 action committees will bemeeting at the Community Foundation (122 Hauser Ave.) and at the following times:

  • Centralized Youth Resource Services- Wednesday, December 2nd @11:30 am
  • Leadership OpportunitiesWednesday, December 2nd @ 6:00 pm
