🌎 Want to help build the next generation of climate leaders in Montana?
We’re excited to launch the Youth Climate Mentor Network, a statewide initiative connecting college students with high school youth working on climate, conservation, and food systems projects across Montana!
We’re looking for college students from all fields of study to serve as mentors. You don’t need to be an expert, just bring curiosity, a willingness to build relationships, and an interest in supporting young people.
As a mentor, you'll have opportunities to:
🌱 Support a high school eco club or student group
🤝 Help students develop a place-based community project
💡 Facilitate meetings and plan network events
📚 Share resources and lead educational activities
🌎 Connect students with community partners and opportunities
✨ Build your own skills in leadership, facilitation, mentorship, and community engagement
Mentors will receive training and ongoing support, connect with a statewide cohort of other college mentors, and have opportunities to participate in network gatherings and climate leadership activities.
The commitment is approximately 2–4 hours/week during the 2026–27 academic year, with academic credit available for eligible students.
Interested?

Come help young people turn their ideas into action, and grow your own leadership along the way. 💚
