The Summit also will feature successful programs that are already working in some places in Montana to provide such safe havens for youth. The goal of the Summit is to challenge communities to increase safe places and structured activities during non-school hours so that young people can study, play and receive the necessary guidance to reach their full potential in life. Parents who are working need to know that their children will be staying out of trouble between school and when they return home from work. Unfortunately, safe places are not readily available to youth in most Montana communities. Without such places and structured activities, there are plenty of opportunities for kids to harm themselves or others.
Safe places is one of the five resources.
All funds for the Summit are being raised privately. If you would like to contribute to the Summit, contact Marilyn Frazier, finance director, at 406 444-4173. You are the 1007th person to access this page.
