Our Goals
PFS has three goals:
- Connect tribal and community partners to support tribal students in their exploration of their gifts and purposes.
- Develop a comprehensive list of a variety of Knowledge Keepers to support tribal youth on their journey of discovering their own purpose and gifts.
- Increase the capacity of tribal & local partners to connect tribal youth with positive tribal protective factors as prevention to mental health issues.
In order to participate in the Boys & Girls Club, families must apply to become members who can then participate in these activities. There are three Boys & Girls Club centers on the Flathead Indian Reservation: St. Ignatius, Ronan, and Polson.
