This January Bozeman Magazine did a feature on Hopa Mountain and the ways we are investing in Bozeman citizen leaders who are woking for positive change. To view the complete article please click here.
Strengthening the Circle, an eight-month Native American Nonprofit Leadership training program, is designed to give Executive Directors and Board members the tools, skills, and technical support needed to successfully develop and strengthen nonprofit organizations working with youth in Indian Country. This fall, Hopa Mountain and Chief Dull Knife College in Lame Deer, Montana, hosted the fourth Strengthening the Circle gathering. With participants arriving from Montana, South Dakota, Wyoming, Arizona, New Mexico and California, we all learned how to expand and rethink nonprofit leadership and funding possibilities for our changing future.

Our new header depicts a fun scene from our most recent summer leadership camp and the T.O.U.C.H. group from the Bozeman area. T.O.U.C.H. is a group for area teens age 11-17 focused on community service and leadership, their title representing “Teens Outreach Uniting Community Help”. This summer camp is made possible through the generous support of Mountain Sky Guest Ranch Fund, The Walter and Lucille Braun Family Gift Fund, The Bozeman Community Foundation and the First Interstate BancSystem Foundation. And a special thanks to the kind people at Lion’s Ridge Camp.

The banner of our blog is a picture from the recent mural project, entitled ‘A Splash of Color’ and completed by the students and faculty of De La Salle Blackfeet School in Browning, MT. This Citizen Leader project is symbolic of the dedication that these strong visionaries have to their home community. Congratulations to all who were involved on a beautiful job well done!

Greetings-
This blog in intended to serve as a place where most every Hopa Mountain story or press release can be found and commented upon. This is akin to a ‘behind the scenes’ area where items can be posted before they go to more formal publications. Articles, updates, interviews, stories… they can all be found here as they are created. Hopefully this can act as a place where those of you who cannot see the stories develop here in Montana can still be kept well informed of the activities here at the Hopa Mountain offices in beautiful Bozeman.
Sincerely,
Alex Keenan
Director of Communications, Hopa Mountain.
