You’ve seen them in the field wielding clipboards, organizing conferences, or on stage performing in drag. This year’s 25 Under 25 are just a sampling of young people who are changing the landscape here in Montana to be more just, equitable, and open to all.
For the last six years, Pat and I have had the honor of selecting the 25 Under 25 award winners, along with the selection committee including our daughter Linda McCulloch, Mary Stranahan, Don Seifert, Dani Howlett, Hannah Pate, and Terry Bradley. Awardees are selected from a diverse pool of candidates from across the state, based on their use of art, activism, science, or entrepreneurship to create real and positive change in their respective communities. After an exciting first day at the Montana Youth Organizing Summit, we’ll be lifting up their accomplishments and we hope you’ll join us.
