Congratulations to Keltie Guiberson, ReACTor of the Month for March 2024! Keltie is a ReACTor in the Be The Change 406 Youth Coalition (Dillon, Montana). Throughout Keltie's first year as a member, not only was she elected into a leadership position by her peers as a representative, but she has also volunteered to be a part of every special event and committee, performing both roles with enthusiasm and a positive attitude. Keltie has been an important part of the parks committee, which successfully advocated for to***co-free city parks, wrote a ReACT mini-grant, and eagerly practiced many lessons in civic engagement throughout the year. Keltie has taken personal initiative to recruit other students as new coalition members, even conducting her own new member luncheon which she led with a wonderful self-created presentation. Keltie shows up and brings the best energy, she is developing into a wonderful leader, and we are pleased to have her in ReACT. ***cofree
