The Heart Mountain Wyoming Foundation's Interpretive Center strives to preserve and share the story of a place where nearly 14,000 people of Japanese ancestry were incarcerated over the course of World War II. Come visit us to learn more about this period of American history through the collection of artifacts in our permanent exhibit and our walking tour of the site.
For decades, Northwest College has attracted international scholars and students who engage with local communities in mutual learning experiences unheard of in most small towns. Each year, NWC welcomes students from over 20 countries. NWC has one of the largest populations of international students among all Wyoming community colleges and its multi-faceted program is used as a model for community colleges throughout the U.S. In addition, NWC actively recruits Hispanic and Native American students from across the region. NWC’s strong humanities program and international initiatives have been recognized by the National Endowment for the Humanities as a model project for rural communities. That’s why the NEH awarded Northwest College with a grant in August 2011 for $131,000 to help facilitate the creation of an Intercultural Center. The grant requires NWC to provide two-to-one match for every grant dollar. With the NEH grant and leadership gifts, nearly two-thirds the necessary funding goal of $395,000 has already been secured. Achieving the goal will help us to buy a home located next to campus, renovate the home, and establish an endowment support ongoing programs. Moreover, your gift to an Intercultural Center at NWC will help us: • Celebrate cultures through planned programming dedicated to American themes like Hispanic Heritage Month, Black History Month, Women’s History Month, etc. as well as programs rooted in current events. • Provide a “home away from home” for students from far away. • Promote mutual respect and cooperation between cultures to bind us together rather than tear us apart.
Bring together self-directed adult individuals and teams for self-learning enabling communities to develop organically and families to learn together by providing equipment and access to a network of human capital resources ordinarily out of the reach of individuals. Create an environment for knowledge sharing through both self-selecting courseware offered and taught by the community and directed topics via programming & contests to provide energy and focus to those just ‘tinkering’.
The Boys & Girls Clubs of Park County make it their business to create a fun, positive, and safe environment for all Club members. The Clubs celebrated their tenth anniversary in 2008. Although they are relatively new, there are definite observable results from the Clubs’ existence. Teachers, parents, and community members are among those who report and comment on the Members’ positive developmental growth, as it pertains to academic and social success. One of the Clubs’ major donors (Bill Price) has been quoted as saying, “Joanne (Bill’s wife) and I believe we must start early and support our youth to help them prepare for future success.” I think we could all agree that the earlier we start, the better our chances of reaping the benefits from all of our efforts to raise a positive and productive generation.
Powell Medical Foundation is a 501(c)3, community-owned, non-profit charitable organization governed by a board of directors made up of individuals drawn from the local community and health organizations. The foundation's funds are utilized for projects that improve healthcare but are not a part of the general operating budget of our health organization. Examples of funded projects include purchasing patient care equipment; enhancement of patient-related programs and services; providing scholarships to outstanding students pursuing degrees in healthcare; construction and upgrading of facilities; and building an endowment to ensure, in perpetuity, that healthcare in our community meets the highest standards of care and service. We invite you to get to know us and learn how you can make a difference and how you can get involved in supporting Powell Valley Healthcare and local health needs.
The Friends provide support to the Powell Branch Library by sponsoring programs, providing volunteers for events, organizing the used book sale, donating to the Summer Reading Program, and purchasing books, equipment, and other materials that the library otherwise could not afford. If you love our library and want to get involved we hope that you will join us at our next meeting.
