MontPIRG: Empowering leaders. Creating change.

• We believe that Montana faces many social, economic, environmental, and political challenges. 

• We believe that civic engagement (advocating, mobilizing, organizing) is the most important and effective way to address these issues.

• We believe in the promise and potential of college student civic engagement.

• We believe in the power of experiential learning to equip students with civic competencies (awareness, skills, knowledge, and habits) and immersing students in the systems that create public policy to make positive change. 

Through robust and transformative internships, campaigns, and events that engage students, sustain meaningful partnerships, and generate social, economic, environmental, and political outcomes, MontPIRG creates a Montana that is more healthy, resilient, inclusive, and just.
