Want to work together or support our program?
We love partnering with local and regional organizations that want to incorporate secwepemctsín into their business plans! In the past couple of years we have partnered with the TNRL Public Library, Zaaz Play and Eatery, and the Lions clubs to bring more language learning and exposure opportunities to the general public and Secwepemc People. We accept donations year round that go directly to program to offer free or low fee events for families like Secwepemctsín Bingo and Secwepemctsín board-game nights.
