On April 30th, 2024 at 10am at Hudson’s Bay High School, the Foundation for Vancouver Public Schools and Vancouver Public Schools (VPS) is breaking ground on a new building to support construction trades and maritime pathways for VPS students.
In January of 2023, the Endeavour Fund learned of the need to build a new space to support the existing
construction trades program at VPS. The timeline for this project has moved quickly, thanks to two generous
donors. A seed gift of $2,000,000 from the Endeavour Fund and a $500,000 gift from an anonymous donor,
along with the support from community partners and the City of Vancouver only 16 months has passed since we first thought of this project and now, we are breaking ground!
We invite you to join us on this momentous occasion. Local elected officials, VPS leadership, current trade students, and community partners will all be present at this event.

The Foundation for Vancouver Public Schools is an independent, 501(c)3 educational non-profit corporation established in 1988 to support Vancouver Public Schools (VPS). Governed by a volunteer board of directors made up of business, community, and education leaders, the foundation creates opportunities to cultivate and inspire student success. As an educational non-profit entity, the foundation serves students at all 40 VPS schools and programs, providing direct aid to students facing learning barriers due to economic need, as well as financial assistance for learning enrichment and mentoring programs that cannot be funded by the school district. The Foundation for VPS is supported by donations from school employees, parents, students, community members, businesses and foundations.
