Welcome to Montana Last Best Alums! We are the official Montana AmeriCorps Alumni group. Our purpose is to advance and strengthen the core tenets of AmeriCorps in Montana. We are the post-national service voice for those who have served in various AmeriCorps Program throughout Montana.
What is the Montana Last Best Council?
The Montana Last Best Alums is spearheaded by a council, called the Montana Last Best Alums Council (LBAC). The LBAC has five focus areas: marketing and outreach, alumni mobilization, member experience and support, support of the Montana Office of Community Service, and of course – supporting Montana AmeriCorps Alumni.
During the last year, the council has been busy setting goals, recruiting council members, and putting plans into action. The LBAC has five council members: Shannon Stober, Josh Vanek, Casey Butcher, Molly Collins, and Megan Helton who meet monthly to discuss the five focus areas.
Taking the Pledge
Do you remember your first moments as a National Service Member? Many of us took the below pledge:
The AmeriCorps Pledge
I will get things done for America – to make our people safer, smarter, and healthier.
I will bring Americans together to strengthen our communities.
Faced with apathy, I will take action.
Faced with conflict, I will seek common ground.
Faced with adversity, I will persevere.
I will carry this commitment with me this year and beyond.
I am an AmeriCorps member, and I will get things done.
What does it mean to “get things done” AFTER your term of service? What does it mean to “carry this commitment with me this year and beyond.”
This is the essence of Montana Last Best Alums. We are charged with “getting things done” AFTER a term of service has ended.
Four things you can do now help.
