The Missoula County Parent Leadership Training Institute (PLTI) is a free, 10-week, anti-racist civics and leadership course that empowers parents and caregivers to become leading advocates for children. We offer individualized childcare support, on-site meals during weekly classes, and transportation assistance.

Applications (quick, easy, online) are due December 15th!

PLTI is open to 25 Missoula County parents, grandparents, foster parents, and other adults who wish to improve the lives of children and families in their community. PLTI thrives with diversity and the participants’ interests vary widely, from attendance policies at school and allotments in the state budget to access to mental healthcare and improving community supports for refugee families.

The 2024 PLTI cohort will kick off with our full-day retreat on Saturday, January 13th, 2024. After the retreat, we’ll meet roughly every other Saturday from 9:00am - 3:00pm for 10 classroom sessions. Classes will take place mid-January to early June; participants are strongly encouraged to attend all classes but are allowed to miss up to 2.

Anyone with questions about PLTI can reach PLTI Coordinator Sam Duncan at missoulaPLTI@missoulaunitedway.org or 406-219-8040.
