SHIFT

SHIFT is a new existing program that supports vulnerable youth, aged 16 to 24 at risk and/or being criminally-involved to gain skills, knowledge and confidence to successfully transition to adulthood. Participation in the program is voluntary and clients must exhibit a willingness and motivation to address and achieve mutually established goals. The objective of the program is to arrange and provide community-based targeted interventions to reduce client contact with the justice system and to foster client involvement with interventions that will address their needs, such as education, employment training, financial support, treatment, housing and prosocial supports.
