Education

We believe in investing in the knowledge and skill building of our youth.

An important ingredient of a healthy community is the academic strength of its members. Education is a life-long journey that must be accessible to all Shxwhá:y Village people. Shxwhá:y Village members work with our major administration services office located at Stó:lō Education Services. Stó:lō provides support for children and adults enrolled in certain education programs. Our goal is to see everyone pursue their passions and gain the education and experience for a fulfilling and rewarding career.
