Over the course of the past 75 years, thousands of young people have graduated from UMEI and have made a difference in the life of this community. UMEI graduates are researchers, greenhouse operators, health care professionals, manufacturers, entrepreneurs, teachers, lawyers and tradespeople.

A UMEI education isn’t just about academic development — it’s about fostering individual potential through whole person education which focuses on spiritual, physical, emotional and social growth and development. UMEI plays an integral role in our community — it is a school, a community centre and a gathering place.

The UMEI Board of Directors is pleased to announce Project ReNEW, an ambitious campaign to raise funds to continue the school’s mission and expand its reach into the community.

“Project ReNEW will help increase student enrollment, expand the school’s community profile and enhance the school’s facilities and programming,” says Steve Enns, Chair of the Board.  “We’ve already raised $200,000 through our Group of 50, and momentum is growing.”

The Group of 50 is a group of school supporters and businesses who are committing $10,000 per year for the next two years.

Project ReNEW will raise $400,000 per year over the next two years to reduce tuition, provide free transportation for students, and complete some upgrades to the facilities.

If you want to get involved in this exciting project, please contact UMEI at 519-326-7448 or office@umei.ca.
