University of Montana women give back to girls – GUTS!

Students attending The University of Montana spend their free time engaged in a wide array of pastimes; including folfing, studying in coffee shops, hitting up Snowbowl and helping to keep local nonprofits afloat.

One of these nonprofits is GUTS!, or Girls Using Their Strengths http://www.ywcaofmissoula.org/?q=node/6 , a YWCA leadership project for girls ages 9 to 18. What started out 13 years ago as a summertime trip with 10 girls has evolved into a year-round program that in 2010, served over 300 Missoula girls.

Jen Euell, a GUTS! cofounder, estimates that 80 percent of the YWCA organization’s all-female volunteers are UM students.
