A three-day series of conversations with the people who have helped make our work possible.

EmpowerMT invites a small group of our longtime, committed supporters to join Heidi Wallace, Executive Director, for Brighter Together: Conversations on Belonging at the Sunshine House. This special three-day series will create space for meaningful, one-on-one conversations about the work we’ve accomplished together, the challenges ahead, and the future we envision for a more just and inclusive Montana.

As we share our new Belonging Report, we’ll reflect on one highlight that demonstrates the impact of our collective efforts and one challenge that invites us to think differently about what comes next. These conversations are an opportunity to celebrate progress, exchange ideas, strengthen partnerships, and hear directly from the people who have stood alongside EmpowerMT throughout our journey.

Our longtime supporters have been an important part of EmpowerMT’s story. As we look toward the future, we want their perspectives, questions, and aspirations to help inform our goals and guide our continued growth. Together, we’ll explore how we can build on our shared commitment to belonging, deepen our collective impact, and create meaningful opportunities for young people and communities across Montana to thrive.

At the Sunshine House, we hope to make room for the conversations that matter most—because a brighter, more inclusive future is something we build together.
