SharpeSkills is a dedicated nonprofit organization with a mission to empower individuals and communities in Duncans, Trelawny, Jamaica, and the United States through a comprehensive range of programs focused on wellness, fitness, community service, environmental stewardship, cultural enrichment, and agriculture. Designed to serve students, families, and individuals in need, including the elderly and those requiring special assistance, SharpeSkills aims to nurture holistic growth and societal contribution.

Our flagship initiative is a donation-funded,7-day retreat in Jamaica for high school students (from 10th grade), college students, educators, administrators, and leadership groups from around the world. This retreat offers a transformative experience that emphasizes personal growth, community building, and active engagement in social change. Participants gain the opportunity to develop personally and build strong relationships, all while making a tangible impact on the community in Jamaica.

All donations will support services, initiatives and our goal of providing three annual trips that are fully financially supported, aiming to provide life-changing experiences for urban youth, special needs, and at-risk youth, along with their families. These trips are designed not just as excursions but as pivotal moments that can alter perspectives, open doors, and inspire futures. We are immensely thankful for the support that allows us to make a difference in so many lives.

Under Shelton’s leadership, SharpeSkills has evolved from a sports training initiative into a robust nonprofit organization advocating holistic health and wellness programs. These programs, innovative in design and inclusive in nature, cater to individuals across all ages and abilities, including special needs and neurodivergent communities. His initiatives span a wide array of activities from agriculture to gardening and the creation of comprehensive remote learning curricula for physical education, all designed to support and enrich communities.
