Youth Programs

Shifting Gears Unlimited LLC is a ten-week interpersonal communications program designed for young adults ages 13 to 21 who are ready to build confidence, strengthen relationships, and take charge of their personal growth. Through real conversations, creative expression, and practical tools, participants explore their values, talents, and lived experiences to develop a strong sense of self. Each module centers around the guiding question, “How can I move toward my personal goals—in school, relationships, and life?” and includes hands-on activities rooted in real-world challenges and personal reflection.

Participants receive a journal to track their growth, ideas, and goals throughout the program. Guest speakers from fields like mental health, entrepreneurship, activism, civic engagement, financial awareness, and the arts share insights and lived wisdom to inspire and inform. By the end of the program, participants will have gained tools for effective communication, decision-making, and self-advocacy, along with a certificate of completion and a personalized support plan that continues for 12 months to help them stay on track with their educational and personal goals.

Shifting Gears is more than a program—it’s a space for young adults to shift their mindset, build momentum, and move toward the future they envision.
