Details:
The Red Ants Pants Foundation Girls Leadership Program is designed to inspire hope for the youth, develop pride in the rural communities, and foster strength and courage in the leadership. The Girls Leadership Program builds highly competent and confident leaders, cultivated specifically to build upon the strength of girls from rural Montana, including the sovereign tribal nations within Montana. Topics include communication, team building, self-awareness, self-care, emotional intelligence, project planning, project management, conflict resolution, and resiliency.
The Red Ants Pants Foundation Girls Leadership Program participants must be Montana residents – inclusive of the sovereign tribal nations within Montana – entering their junior year of high school, have access to transportation, and be able to attend ALL events. The only expense required by participants is travel to and from each retreat, located in central Montana. If this is a difficulty, stipends may be available for assistance.
The Foundation Do
The RAPF GLP includes four key activity areas:
- Program Retreats: They will host three retreats (October, January, April). They learn about leadership skills while team-building and having fun.
- One-On-One Mentoring: Participants will be paired with mentors from around the state to support their engagement and growth. Mentors are not counselors – but folks who can help you and act as role models.
- Community Projects: Participants will design and complete a service project in their community.
- Self-Directed Home Activities & Monthly Check-Ins: These activities are designed to reinforce leadership skills, promote reflection, and support continued personal development.
Who can apply?
The RAPF GLP consists of 8-10 girls entering their junior year of high school and 8 – 10 mentors from across Montana. Girls from every community, regardless of size, are welcome to apply. Some girls come with leadership experience from sports teams, community or school organizations, and for some, this is the first time trying something like this. All backgrounds are welcome. They just require a commitment to participating and learning from each other.
