Shift aims to learn about; and increase the wellbeing of young women aged 12-20. We do this by: INCREASING AWARENESS - of wellbeing through education and role modelling. REDUCING BARRIERS - to participation by providing fun, social, low cost physical activity and sport opportunities and administering financial support. EMPOWERING YOUNG WOMEN - by inspiring and growing leaders to create change in their own communities. Our Approach We co-design wellbeing solutions with young women to better understand their needs in an ever-changing environment. We seek and hear feedback, and embrace constant iteration and meaningful engagement. We are accessible, agile, and strongly believe in building whanaungatanga. We experiment, collaborate and have fun! We work in the worlds of wellbeing science, physical activity, social entrepreneurship and design.
