SHARP Program 2023 Summer

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 offers an in-person after-school program – the SHARP Program for Secondary Students of East Asian Heritage and Newcomer Students of TAIE International Institute (TAIE) to enhance mental health and well-being, through student leadership development.
