Youth Leadership Programs

Youth, 13-17, living in Gallatin and Park Counties are invited to be a part of Hopa Mountain’s Youth Leadership Program. The Youth Leadership Program offers teens weekly opportunities to strengthen their leadership skills through activities such as adventure-based experiential challenges, outdoor problem solving games, inquiry-based science education, local art projects, self-awareness exercises, and community service learning initiatives. The programs also help teens prepare and gain access to resources for college. To learn more about current Youth Leadership Program activities please visit http://hopamountain.org/youthblog/.

The Park County youth leadership program meets weekly during the school year on Tuesday afternoons from 4 - 5:30 p.m. in Livingston, usually at the Public Library. This program is offered in cooperation with LINKS for Learing. 

The Gallatin County youth leadership program meets weekly during the school year on Saturdays, often at the Hopa Mountain office located at 234. E. Babcock from 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. 

 All activities are free-of-charge, thanks to generous support from the Mountain Sky Guest Ranch Fund, the O.P. and W.E. Edwards Foundation, the Walter L. and Lucille Braun Family Charitable Gift Fund, First Interstate BancSystem Foundation, Northwestern Energy, WalMart and Hopa Mountain members.

For more information on the 2012 school-year and summer programs, please contact Laura Wilburn at (406) 586-2455.
