Shift is a wellbeing initiative, just for young women! With a particular focus on physical activity. This programme seeks to:
The Shift initiative is delivered in partnership with the Shift Foundation.
Shift has three main programmes in the Hutt Valley:
‘Just Shift It’ provides physical activity opportunities, co-designed with the young women involved. Think yoga, dance workshops, Zumba, firebreak climbing, ice skating! We also bring in professionals to help us explore our wellbeing, through topics like mental health, relationship skills, managing stress.
‘Just Shift It’ Holiday Programme is based on the same concepts but run during the school holidays.
‘Shift Leaders’ is our leadership development programme, taking small groups of young women through either a 20-week course or a leadership conference, to build confidence, awareness of leadership ability, and be empowered to affect change in their worlds.

The first day I came to Shift was really memorable. Everyone was so friendly. There were so many girls from different years from the school all coming together, having fun, just doing something together.
I’ve done Yoga, Zumba, Dancing, the Riser walk, the self-defence class – that was real fun…I’d not done any of those things before Shift. They were all really good.
I’m leaving this lesson feeling way more confident in my ability than I’ve ever felt before.
