CPAW's Appeal for the Centre for Career and Vocation (CCV)
Dear Friend of CMU,
As a leader of a partner agency of Canadian Mennonite University, I have the privilege of seeing the CMU mission in action through the students who join us through CMU's Work-Integrated Learning program. These students bring more than knowledge and skill; they bring a deep commitment to learning to live and work well with others and an eagerness to have an impact that reaches beyond the workplace.

At Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society (CPAWS), we experience the impact of CMU through the unique ways their students engage. These students integrate their studies, their personal values, and a desire to make a difference in everything they do, reflecting CMU’s dedication to both character building and community building. In our time together, CMU students inspire us with a presence that blends intellectual curiosity, emotional depth, and spiritual grounding—a combination that not only supports CPAWS’ mission but strengthens it.
Supporting CMU and the Centre for Career and Vocation allows students to fully engage in exploring the world of work. Your generous gifts mean more students can gain hands-on experience that shapes them as genuine, engaged, citizens while organizations like CPAWS benefit from their curiosity, perspectives, resilience, and dedication.
Thank you for considering this opportunity to invest in a program that nurtures the intellect, spirit, and capacity in every student. Trust me, it makes a difference!
With sincere gratitude,
Carly Gray
