HLN (Helena Leaders Network)
After looking at the Helena Area Labor report, it
shows that in-migration to Lewis and Clark County is
highest for people ages 25-54 and ages 0-17. From
this data we can come to the idea that most people
coming to our community are families and/or young
professionals. As of 2022, HLN is looking to expand its
efforts to not only engage our existing young leaders,
but to attract new talent as well. By having a group to
be involved in as a young professional when you move
here, it gives you an in to the community and those
who come are more likely to stay. Some events and
upcoming opportunities include “Invest in Helena,”
and our mentorship program. The mission of Invest in
Helena is to help facilitate connections that lead to the
responsible and authentic growth of Helena. This will
be an opportunity for locals to come together with the
common goal of keeping Helena Montana and taking
