Who is Forward Montana?

Forward Montana is a nonprofit organization dedicated to developing, mobilizing and electing a new generation of leaders across Montana. Since our establishment in 2004, we’ve grown into the largest youth civic engagement organization in Montana with year-round staff in Billings, Bozeman, Butte, Missoula, Glendive, and in the Flathead Valley. 

We build political power with and for young Montanans by driving a culture of civic engagement and by electing leaders that are representative of the needs and vision of our generation. Every year, Forward Montana creates voter guides to help Montanans cast an informed vote across their entire ballot.
