Project Limelight brings participants together with talented mentors who offer encouragement, instruction and motivation while working towards their mutual goal of a theatrical performance on a professional stage. We want to unleash the imagination, awaken curiosity and give youth in our community the opportunity to experience the magic of applause. Facing your fears and overcoming your personal barriers gives young people a sense of confidence, self-assurance and creative freedom that will be carried forward outside of the program and into their school and home life. Young people who are involved in arts programs outside of school have a higher rate of success scholastically and are more likely to stay in school. Generally a Project Limelight session runs for 4 months. Participants are introduced to many facets of the performing arts through 4–6 weeks of professionally lead workshops. The remaining time focuses on rehearsing and performing in a full length stage production.

The Half Percent Project was created to educate foundations and philanthropists on the plight of animals and the need to consider animal welfare as part of their giving portfolio.

We want to encourage philanthropists and foundations to direct a half percent of their annual giving towards supporting animal welfare.

All counseling is done by licensed professional mental health therapists in their private, professional office spaces.

The goal of the Hope Project is to make dreams come true for critically ill children in Montana. The conditions the children face typically require medical intervention and physically, emotionally, and financially drain the children and their families.

The average wish granted costs about $8,800, and the most requested wish is a trip to Walt Disney World.
