Get SHARP at Flemingdon

Planned Parenthood Toronto (PPT) is super fortunate and super thankful to have an amazing partnership with Flemingdon Health Centre (FHC)!  We are thankful to everyone in the Flemingdon community who welcomed us with open arms and open minds!  Thank you to all of our AMAZING Sharpies (you know who you are), who were our guinea pigs for our first cycle of SHARP at Flemingdon!  Because all 9 of you were SOO AMAZING and because SHARP went over so well, we'll be running another cycle of SHARP at FHC in the Fall of 2010!  YAY! 

So what is SHARP? 

The Self-esteem Health Appreciation Respect Project (SHARP) is a program by Planned Parenthood Toronto. SHARP is a program where newcomer youth and youth whose families are from places other than Canada can get together, talk about healthy relationships, self-esteem, cultural values and cultural expectations.  It's also a great way to meet new people, earn volunteer hours, eat tons of food, learn about leadership, youth engagement and team building, all while having lots of fun!

If you're interested in being a part of SHARP, contact:
