For more than 15 years, Sandra and Dennis Cooper have had a dream. We wished to establish a “Folk School” based on the traditional Scandinavian model that has been successfully used for many years. The Scandinavian folk schools are designed to let people explore different arts, crafts, and trades in a casual setting with skilled and helpful instructors leading the way.
On September 29th 2017 Co-opportunities, Incorporated, a 501 (c) 3 non-profit corporation was registered in the state of Idaho with our headquarters located at 2155 Paddock Avenue. (The historic Billings Gymnasium on the Intermountain Institute campus.) We have three founding board members: Sandra Cooper, P. Gary Eller, and Dennis Cooper.
So here’s what is next:
-
Establish a Managing Board of Directors
We are actively recruiting board members throughout the region with various skill sets, and most importantly, a passion for our vision.
-
Find local people with skills, who desire to share them with others
Our goal is to partner with local people and businesses to offer affordable learning opportunities for our local residents. As we grow we will also be offering workshops and camps for local folks and guests from out of the area. If you want to participate as an instructor please click the “Instructors” link on this website fill out the form. We’ll get in touch right away.
