ULead is a leadership program that connects student leaders to each other and builds knowledge about how to operate campus groups.
ULead activities include:
- ULead Workshops (fall and winter)
- ULead Presidents’ Retreat (annual)
- ULead Conference (full day)
- ULead in the Summer
- ULead Club Cafés
Participating in the ULead Program is a great way to develop your personal leadership skills and enhance the capacity of your club! Individuals can qualify for the CCR-recognized ULead Certificate and clubs can collect ULead points to be eligible to apply for office space at the 21 Sussex Avenue clubhouse.

Important note: We will honour clubhouse office space awarded to groups from the 2019-2020 academic year. ULead points for the 2020-21 year will count for groups looking to secure clubhouse space for the 2021-2022 academic year. This may result in limited spaces available for clubs looking to apply for clubhouse space for the 2021-2022 year. For questions about clubhouse space, please email groups.officer@utoronto.ca.Group points need to come from at least two members of the group. Groups are strongly encouraged to send different executives and members to workshops that interest them or apply to their role.
