Why do you love Forward Montana Foundation?
The quality of our lives in 5, 10 or 15 years from now will be decided by the policies that go in place today, and as such it’s more important than ever to realize that we hold the power to inform these policies through our votes. Forward Montana is all about getting the youth excited about this process and that’s what I love about it.
