What does being a member of Shift mean?
Being a member of Shift means that you start to see the results of
a healthier lifestyle, and you feel better both mentally and physically. Shift is about making a commitment to yourself and to your friends to be healthier. Shift isn't about how much you weigh or how toned you are. It's about understanding what your choices are, setting goals that are right for you and enjoying the feeling of accomplishment.
Plus, Shift members pick a goal to work towards together. Members receive a training schedule for a 5K run/walk, and a team of friends to help stay motivated. We register for a fun event, stretch ourselves and cheer each other to the finish line.
We count on our friends at Shift to encourage us, help us solve problems if they come up and celebrate what’s special about each of us.
How often and where does Shift meet?
Shift members meet once a week for twelve weeks. Each session lasts for one hour. There are about ten members in a group, and they meet at the Coordinator's house, or anywhere that is convenient and comfortable, such as gyms, community centers, churches or clubs.
Who leads the meetings?
A Shift Leader facilitates the group. She's in college, and wants to help other girls figure out things she wishes she'd learned when she was a teen. She is screened and trained by Shift to lead the discussions and activities, answer questions and share her experiences. She makes sure members are getting the most out of the Shift program.
Who is at meetings?
Meetings are for teen members only, plus the Shift Leader.
How will I Shift?
Shift members receive the Shift DayBook, a planner that helps you track your goals and accomplishments. Plus you get valuable information every week to add to your MemberBook, a resource you'll build for future reference.
Shift will prepare and motivate you to make healthier choices. With Shift you'll look good and feel even better.

How can I make Shift happen?
Do you want to start your own Shift group? Then you want to be a Coordinator.
The Coordinator is a member of Shift, and she’s also the person who helps put the group together, organizes the sessions, and hosts Shift at her house.
The Coordinator is incredibly important! Shift can’t happen without her. She’s so important, that not only does she get her membership fee waived, but she even earns a little cash for all the great work she does.
First, she invites her friends, classmates and people she knows from out-of-school activities to be a member of her Shift group. Then she helps the Leader figure out who wants to join, and helps the Leader get everything organized. Finally, the Coordinator hosts the sessions at her house each week.
