Ways to Help
There are over 11,000 children in care and over 90,000 newcomer children in Manitoba.
These children, along with so many more in our province, have incredible undiscovered potential. Your donation will help more of these children discover new possibilities through CanU - The University of Can.
Can you imagine if every child in Manitoba had the opportunity to discover their potential?

Four Reasons to Give
In 2023, CanU participants had a 99% on-time high school graduation rate - almost 20% higher than the rest of Manitoba.
Having hope in our future and the guidance to plan our paths beyond high school makes a difference. CanU's focus goes beyond graduation and prepares it's participants for whatever post-secondary path they dream of.
CanU offers hundreds of immersive learning experiences, nourishing meals and city-wide transportation year-round at ZERO COST to our participants or their families. How is this possible?
CanU is made possible by thousands of committed volunteers and partnerships. That's how we deliver so much opportunity with your donations! For as little as $17/month, CanU can create another programming spot for Winnipeg youth.
Your donation goes a long way.
