Ravalli County Program

Established: 2004
Location: 515 Madison Street, Hamilton, MT 59840

Our founding program, MAPS – Ravalli County, has provided free, year-round media arts education to rural Montana youth for two decades. 

Based in the county seat of Hamilton, this comprehensive program serves students from five Bitterroot Valley school districts through engaging in after-school and summer sessions. 

Students access professional equipment and licensed teaching artists to work on individual and collaborative projects in film, design, music production, and emerging technologies. The program emphasizes hands-on learning, creative expression, and community engagement while preparing youth for future educational and career success.
