The Montana Blackfeet Reservation is a legendary VISIONS program that remains a life-changing memory for people who participated three decades ago. We are welcomed by local friends, elders, the Brave Dog Society, and other tribal members who work diligently to serve their community while also preserving traditions and bringing back the Blackfeet language.

What I gain from my trip
by: Andrea Chacha - United StatesProgram: VISIONS Service Adventures: Montana Blackfeet ReservationMy trip to Montana was 15 days long. It was a good experience to learn about the Blackfeet culture. I am glad that I was able to experience this trip because I learn so much and I was able to learn so much from other people without being attached to my phone.
Eye opening & life changing!
by: Jasmine Berger - United StatesProgram: VISIONS Service Adventures: Montana Blackfeet ReservationThis summer I lived and volunteered on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation with VISIONS Service Adventures. VISIONS combined my favorite things- travel, learning, and community service. What I love about VISIONS is that the main focus of the trip is volunteering.
