WE ADDRESS IMPORTANT ISSUES FACING MONTANA INCLUDING PROTECTING OUR ENVIRONMENT, ADVANCING CLEAN ENERGY, EMPOWERING YOUNG VOTERS, AND DEFENDING CONSUMER RIGHTS. IN 2024-2025, MONTPIRG LEADERSHIP FUND EDUCATED DOZENS OF STUDENT LEADERS WHO VISITED THOUSANDS OF HOUSEHOLDS TO DISCUSS CLEAN WATER, SOIL, AND AIR. MONTPIRG STUDENTS REGISTERED NEW VOTERS, EDUCATING THEM, AND GETTING THEM OUT TO PARTICIPATE IN ELECTIONS VOTER ENGAGEMENT REGISTERING TO VOTE IS ONE OF THE FIRST STEPS TO CIVIC ENGAGEMENT. MONTPIRG STUDENTS SET OUT EACH YEAR TO REGISTER NEW VOTERS. OUR TEAMS WORK TO MAKE ACCESS TO REGISTERING TO VOTE AS EASY AND ACCESSIBLE AS POSSIBLE. WORKING THROUGHOUT THE MISSOULA AND BOZEMAN COMMUNITIES, WE HELP THOUSANDS OF YOUNG PEOPLE HAVE AS MUCH OPPORTUNITY AS POSSIBLE TO VOTE. BY DIRECTLY LINKING CANDIDATES WITH STUDENTS, MOBILIZING STUDENT VOTER TURNOUT, AND EQUIPPING YOUNG PEOPLE WITH THE NECESSARY TOOLS AND RESOURCES TO CAST THEIR BALLOTS EFFECTIVELY, WE FACILITATED INFORMED PARTICIPATION IN THE ELECTORAL PROCESS. THROUGH ON-CAMPUS INFORMATIONAL EVENTS, CANDIDATE FORUMS, AND RALLIES, WE HELPED YOUNG FOLKS PREPARE TO CAST THEIR VOTES. WHILE LOCAL GOVERNMENT MAY SEEM DISTANT TO MANY YOUNG VOTERS, WE RECOGNIZE THAT LOCAL DECISION-MAKERS OFTEN HAVE THE GREATEST IMPACT ON INDIVIDUALS' DAILY LIVES, MAKING IT IMPERATIVE TO CONNECT YOUNG AND FIRST-TIME VOTERS WITH THESE OFFCIALS TO AMPLIFY YOUTHFUL VOICES IN THE DEMOCRATIC PROCESS. IN 2025, MONTPIRG LEADERSHIP FUND ALSO ENGAGED MONTANANS ABOUT THE 2025 LEGISLATIVE SESSION. WE PARTNERED WITH LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS. WE HELD INFORMATION SESSIONS, MADE PHONE CALLS, AND TURNED OUT CITIZENS TO SPEAK OUT AT LEGISLATIVE HEARINGS. IN ALL, WE INFORMED MONTANANS ABOUT THIS CRITICAL PROCESS AND EMPOWERED DOZENS TO SPEAK UP FOR GOOD POLICY. STANDING UP FOR THE ENVIRONMENT IN THE SUMMER OF 2024, MONTPIRG LEADERSHIP FUND ENGAGED IN SIGNATURE GATHERING AND CANVASSING EFFORTS TO HELP BAN CERTAIN PLASTIC PRODUCTS FROM BOZEMAN AND MISSOULA. THIS WAS AN EFFORT TO KEEP PLASTICS OUT OF OUR WATER AND ENVIRONMENT. LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT AT THE CORE OF MONTPIRG LEADERSHIP FUND'S MISSION LIES A COMMITMENT TO LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT. RECOGNIZING THE ROLE YOUNG LEADERS PLAY ACROSS SOCIETY, OUR PRIMARY OBJECTIVE IS TO EMPOWER THESE INDIVIDUALS WITH THE NECESSARY TOOLS AND KNOWLEDGE TO ADVOCATE EFFECTIVELY FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR COMMUNITIES. THIS YEAR, WE CONDUCTED INTENSIVE TRAINING SESSIONS FOR COHORTS OF INTERNS IN BOZEMAN AND MISSOULA, FOCUSING ON A DIVERSE RANGE OF SKILLS SUCH AS FUNDRAISING, GRASSROOTS ORGANIZING (INCLUDING DOOR KNOCKING AND PHONE CALLING), WRITTEN COMMUNICATION (INCLUDING LETTER WRITING), PUBLIC SPEAKING, EVENT COORDINATION, AND PEER-TO-PEER OUTREACH. IN ADDITION TO OUR INTERN PROGRAM, WE ACTIVELY ENGAGE VOLUNTEERS WHO COLLABORATE WITH INTERNS AND STAFF TO CULTIVATE THESE PROFICIENCIES AND DRIVE MEANINGFUL CHANGE. CRUCIALLY, PARTICIPANTS GAIN HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE BY ADDRESSING PRESSING PROJECTS AND ISSUES DIRECTLY IMPACTING BOTH THEMSELVES AND THEIR COMMUNITY MEMBERS, AMPLIFYING THEIR IMPACT AND ENHANCING THEIR LEADERSHIP CAPABILITIES.
