Hopa Mountain invests in rural and tribal citizen leaders who are improving education, ecological health and economic development.

Hopa Mountain has six principal programs:

**1.  Hopa Mountain StoryMakers:** Working through diverse local Community Teams in rural and tribal Montana communities, *StoryMakers* offers parents with children 0-5 books, resources, support, and networks to build strong early learning home environments that give their children the best chances for success when they enter school and overall wellbeing throughout their lives.  

**2.  Scholars of Promise** programs that provide college support services to Native American, Latino, and foster care youth. *Health Scholars of Promise* invests in rural and tribal teens interested in pursuing a health degree. Scholars receive support services through college graduation.

**3.** **Native Fellowships** help teens, tribal college, university and graduate students in Montana prepare for and earn undergraduate and terminal degrees. The **Medical Mentorship Program** supports those preparing for medical school.

**4.** **Strengthening the Circle - Native Nonprofit Leadership Program:** This program supports Native-led nonprofit Executive Directors and Board members throughout the Northern Rockies and Pacific Northwest with resources, technical support, and networks as they develop and strengthen vital community programs. 

**5. Local Food for Local Families** Through training and technical assistance initiatives, staff provide support to local food producers and rural and tribal food pantries to help expand their outreach and support services. Staff are also working to increase the marketing capacity of rural farmers and ranchers along with the development of food hubs with shared-use kitchens in underserved communities.

**6.** Through **Citizen Leadership/Nonprofit Leadership Training/Affiliate Programs**,\*\*\*\* Hopa Mountain staff offer training programs in Board development, strategic planning, and 501c3 application development along with fiscal sponsorship services.

Hopa Mountain focuses its efforts in the Northern Rockies, Pacific Northwest and Great Plains. Hopa Mountain was founded on the conviction that hope is the fundamental prerequisite for positive change. The possibilities for sustained community improvements lie in the strength, innate wisdom and creativity of local people–in their relationships with each other and the land. They know their communities' needs best.
