Shyft

SHYFT (Shaping & Helping Youth Form Tomorrow) is a 12-week program for cis and trans girls, non-binary and Two-Spirit youth ages 8 to 14. This program provides opportunity for discussion and action, by allowing participants to make sense of what they are experiencing externally and feeling internally. The goal of SHYFT is to foster critical thinking skills and provide outlets for participants to create their own social-justice based media-arts projects.
