Introduction to SHiFT Programs ____________________________________
SHIFT core programs are SHiFT Circles, SHiFTing In and Out of Neutral, and Tools for Creating. They're designed to address the four key questions at the milestone of midlife: Who Am I Now? What Do I Want? How Do I Get There? How Do I Sustain It?
Tools for Creating
Friday, February 24, 6:30 - 8:30 pm
Lunds Uptown, 1450 West Lake Street, Mpls
Shift Members - Free; Non-Members - $20
In this workshop, you'll explore how you can create what matters most to you —
in spite of challenging circumstances —
by shifting from a focus on problems to an orientation of creating.
Creating is a skill. Just like driving a car, skiing, or playing a musical instrument. Like all skills, it takes time and experience to learn. In this introductory hands-on workshop, facilitated by SHiFT member Jay McManus, you’ll discover how to:
♦ Connect with what matters most to you
♦ Know where you are, as well as to where you want to be
♦ Deal with unwanted situations
SHiFT Midternships
Midlife career changers face an almost insurmountable wall. Employers often play it safe by focusing on direct prior experience. Workers with highly transferable skills often discover that they cannot get an interview — much less the job.
Enter SHiFT Midternships™. This innovative pilot program, developed in collaboration with the state of Minnesota, supports people who want to gain hands-on work experience in a new career field. Think of it as internships for those 50 years of age or older. Interested? Review the details ...

SHiFT Time Bank
The core values of a Time Bank — reciprocity, social capital, respect, redefining work — resonate with our times to create a new brand of wealth. And new opportunity. In more than 40 states and 32 countries, TimeBanking is a force for good and a source of hope.
Here's how it works. SHiFT Members earn credits for their volunteer time and exchange those credits with other Time Bank members for services. It's the intersection of "What Can I Offer?" with "What Do I Need?" Want to participate? Learn More, and then Join ShiFT!
