⚡️The Forward Montana CIVIC SPARK Program – A civic engagement program for the Flathead Valley!⚡️Get ready to level up your civic game with Forward Montana!
🌱 This spring, we’re launching the Flathead Civic Spark Challenge 🔋 to make volunteering, outreach, and community engagement fun, social, and rewarding. 💛 Complete simple civic actions, collect punches on your Forward Montana Civic Spark Punch Card, and redeem them for perks at local businesses while building skills, confidence, and connection. 👥
⚡️ Points will be tracked monthly, and the top volunteers will be celebrated at a friendly recognition event after the primaries.💛 Everything is low-risk, legal, and designed to help our community stay connected, inspired, and ready for the summer field season. Once their card is filled, they redeem it for a perk at a participating local business. This is about turning small actions into momentum while strengthening connections between people and the places they live.
Participants receive a Civic Spark punch card and complete actions such as:
- Get someone to Pledge to Vote!
- Come to a Forward Montana event!
- Bring a friend to volunteer with you!
- Attend a volunteer shift!
- Talk to a stranger about ballot initiative CI-132!
- GOTV phone banking!
- GOTV door knocking!
🫂 Join us at our Volunteer Kickoff on Wednesday, April 1st, at Bias Brewery from 5:30-6:30 PM to get your punch card, learn more, and get plugged in.
Come as you are, create your path, and help us strengthen civic action in the Flathead. Show up, earn points & build community! Low-pressure civic action that has high impact momentum–let the games begin! ⚡️The program will run from April 1st- June 2nd with a celebration event recognizing volunteers and business partners on June 8th!
