Our mission is to inspire students to find their unique voice and to help them develop the skills and awareness they need to be engaged citizens for a lifetime. MCCFF is currently working with the Secretary of State, in conjunction with the superintendent of public instruction, to provide civics education to Montana’s classrooms. Through MCA 13-22-101 Youth Voting Act, MCCF looks to partner with the Office of Public Instruction and Secretary of State’s Office to provide young Montanans direct experience in the voting process.
MCCFF is developing issue-centric, nonpartisan curriculum that gives students a deeper understanding of history, government institutions, current issues, and the role of citizens. Our goal is to inspire every person to find their voice and to help young people develop critical skills for tackling the challenges and opportunities facing Montana.
MCCFF’s curriculum is built on the idea that young people from all backgrounds need a comprehensive understanding of how our government operates and their responsibilities as citizens. The concept was simple: give students the opportunity to directly engage with the people and institutions of our government and they will develop the skills and attitudes they need for a lifetime of active citizenship.
