Join us for the 2025 Montana Youth Climate Summit!!!
This year, the Park High Green Initiative and PCEC are hosting the Montana Youth Climate Summit for 50 students from around the state of Montana. The two-day event in Livingston will take place on October 23rd and 24th.
This two-day conference will bring together like-minded youth to learn from each other, various climate professionals, and storytellers of all kinds. By investing in passionate young leaders, we are building the capacity and community expertise needed to proactively address climate change issues by helping students feel empowered and a part of this place.
The cost of the summit is FREE for students and includes all summit sessions and meals. Teachers accompanying their students may also attend at no cost and will receive 6 hours of OPI Professional Learning and Renewal Credits.
