Mount St. Helens Institute

The Mount St. Helens Institute (MSHI) is devoted to advancing understanding and stewardship of the Earth through science, education and exploration of volcanic landscapes. MSHI was founded in 1992 to connect people of all ages to Mount St. Helens and our natural world through educational programming designed to enrich visitors’ appreciation and understanding of the Pacific Northwest’s youngest and most active volcano. Frequent flyers on Alaska Airlines often get to see this amazing landscape from above, including Mount St. Helen’s changing crater and the only glacier in North America that is actually growing instead of receding. Back on the ground, we are proud of the many ways we connect people to the volcano they love, from outdoor youth education programs hosted at the Mount St. Helens Science & Learning Center, to expert-led field seminars and guided exploration programs, to meaningful volunteer opportunities across Mount St. Helens and the surrounding Gifford Pinchot National Forest. We regularly collaborate with a number of federal and state agency partners, such as Gifford Pinchot National Forest, US Forest Service, US Geological Survey and Silver Lake State Park.
