Ronan, Montana
A local effort, powered by residents

We’re off and running, and this is your invitation.

Ronan Community Heart & Soul® is a local initiative powered by the people of Ronan. Over three community gatherings this fall, we’ll listen to each other’s stories, find out what matters most to the people who live here, and turn it into a shared vision for our town’s future.

Ronan was selected for the Community Heart & Soul Montana Getting Started Series, a resident-driven process used by more than 140 small towns across the country. The program brings coaching, resources, and funding support to our community. It complements work already underway: downtown revitalization, the Downtown Master Plan, and Main Street improvements.

We kicked things off on August 25 at the Ronan Community Center with dinner, stories, and a first look at what this process can do for a town like ours. Missed it? Jump right in. Each gathering stands on its own, and the Community Discussion on October 8 is where we dig into what matters most to the people who live here.

What to expect

  • A free dinner with your neighbors at every event
  • A short workshop with examples from other Heart & Soul towns
  • Real conversation about what makes Ronan special
  • Every voice welcome: all ages, all backgrounds
  • Got a minute, got a morning, got a month? There’s a place for you.
