SHARP Program
Across U-hub recognizes the unlimited potential of youth. We believe that a sense of belonging is crucial in supporting youth in becoming meaningful members of the community.
Our goal is to improve the overall well-being of youth in our multicultural environment by building a sense of community and belongingness both in school and outside of school. Through different activities, youth will have an opportunity to develop good character traits that would help them stand out within the society.
Across U-hub has developed a new comprehensive virtual after-school program, which integrates the in-person program features into online experience, thereby continuing to provide the SHARP program for International Students and East Asian Students of the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) to enhance mental health and well-being, through student leadership development.
