Yukon University Foundation
for the North
Let’s build a prosperous north
The Yukon is home to 14 First Nations. YukonU students, staff, faculty, partners and guests are honoured to live, learn and share knowledge upon their traditional territories.
It is a place where we walk together in reconciliation to fuel a strong economy, resilient organizations and capable governments with bold leaders shaped by Yukon University.

This is your invitation to join Together, for the North - a $4 million campaign to invest in YukonU, where every student is fostered to reach their fullest potential and to embrace opportunities to create positive change.
