ReACT Executive Council

If you’re looking for something to make you stand out as a leader, you’ve found it. After all, there’s no better way to show that you’re an active, compassionate, dedicated, and intelligent student than by getting involved in ReACT—Montana’s teen-led movement taking action to become the first-ever tobacco-free generation. ReACT offers various opportunities to grow in confidence, commitment, and leadership, providing you a jump start to your bright future.

The Executive Council is teen-led and overseen by ReACT Youth Engagement Specialist. The council consists of ten Montana students representing ReACT in their local and state representatives of the ReACT program. Any Montana student in grades 7-12 can apply to be a member of the Executive Council. However, only students in grades 9-12 may apply for ReACT President.
