Meet Our UHub Team
UHub is a Charitable Trust. We have a Board made up of a range of Upper Hutt Community members who are all passionate about our young people and whānau, and Upper Hutt. We are committed to the best start for tamariki, so every child is a successful learner. We believe it takes a 'village' to raise young people. When young people thrive - communities thrive.
Our UHub Board Chairperson is Jo Grant, who was formerly the Principal of Upper Hutt School. Our UHub team consists of Learning Support Coordinators, Social Workers, Health Practitioners and Community Providers.
