Education Department
Director: Darren Googoo

The Membertou Education Department plays a very significant and important role within the community. Through Membertou’s own elementary school, valuable programs and services are offered that are not available elsewhere. The Membertou Education Department provides culture and conversational Mi’kmaw classes to the youth, offers state of the art technology, such as, laptops for all children, hosts after school homework clubs and other extra curricular activities.

Membertou’s C@P Site Program offers online computer skills enhancement programs, cyber camps for children, aboriginal small business information kiosk, and is available to anyone to simply browse the net, check emails and assist with homework and school projects.

In the fall of 2005, Membertou opened its own youth centre. This $275,000 facility is dedicated to the encouragement of cultural, academic, social and recreational programs to youth. The Membertou Youth Centre supports Membertou’s long term goals of promoting active, educational and cultural activities to the future of Membertou, and encourages the youth to be involved in a wide variety of activities that they may not have otherwise had the chance to participate.
