Bear Paw Development Corporation is a private non-profit organization created for the purpose of administering programs to help improve regional economic conditions in Hill, Blaine, Liberty, Chouteau and Phillips Counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy's Indian Reservations.

As state-mandated school closures require new methods of remote learning, some students who lack academic support at home are struggling to keep up with their classmates.

That’s why Cassidy Bateman, a senior at Big Sky High School, teamed up with a group of high schoolers from across the nation to create a free tutoring service geared toward helping low-income students.

“We are trying to provide academic support to students who may not have academic support because of COVID-19,” Bateman said.
