CFUW North Vancouver is an active group with 75 members. We provide an interesting monthly programme at our meetings and offer a variety of interest groups.
The club provides opportunities for members can put their education at the service of the community, advocate for women, children and families, complete worthwhile projects, and gather to pursue common interests.
Our members are active in the community locally and globally. We participate in community outreach initiatives and many of our interest groups consider community issues. Each year we suggest and/or review resolutions which will be put forward to appropriate government and/or international organizations.

SUPPORTING POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION
Through our Educational Trust Fund we fund bursaries to the graduates of North Vancouver School District 44 secondary schools, and to undergraduate students at the University of British Columbia, Simon Fraser University, Capilano University, and the British Columbia Institute of Technology. In 2010-2011, a total of $15,080 was awarded thanks to the generosity of our member, friends, First Impressions Theatre Company, BC Gaming and many community merchants.
Students apply for awards through their school’s Student Services Offices or School Offices.
