Currently Expanding Your Horizons conferences are held in 31 states and in Europe and Asia.
EYH was first introduced to the Flathead Valley in 1983 by the American Association of University Women (AAUW), at Flathead High school for girls in grades 6th through 12th. Later, a committee of community members centered out of Flathead Valley Community College (FVCC) hosted the event. When FVCC began a rapid expansion of their own, the committee reached out to other community groups to continue the program.
The Soroptimist International clubs of Bigfork, Kalispell, Polson, and Whitefish, began organizing and fundraising for the Flathead EYH program since 2007.
75 girls, in grades 6th-8th attended the first event held on a Saturday at Columbia Falls Middle School. In 2008 Flathead Valley Community College became a partner to host this fun and experimental day of Math & Science.
The annual event welcomes 300 7th-8th grade girls from all corners of Northwest Montana.
This year’s event will be held on May 15, 2012 at FVCC
Our program is registered through the EYH Network and is one of only two sites in Montana.
