Friends of the Children Western Montana Celebrates One Year of Impact on the Flathead Reservation

We're excited to announce the one year anniversary of our Flathead Nation program in Polson! Read about how we're impacting generational change for youth on the Flathead Reservation in this article by Charkoosta News.

"The Flathead Nation program is changing lives—because it centers Indigenous culture and community at every level," said Michele Mitchell, Tribal Education Department Head for the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes (CSKT), who also leads Project AWARE and serves on the Friends Western Montana Board of Directors. "Our children see themselves reflected in their mentors. They're learning traditional games, participating in culture camps, and being reminded every day that they are valued, resilient, and capable of great things."
