THE SHIFT FOUNDATION (Reg. No: 8999099) is a faith-based non-profit organisation established to transform and empower teenagers. We are passionate advocates for disadvantaged teenagers in society — recognising that the teenage years are a critical time of discovery, orientation, and the formation of identity. We serve as an agent that guides against misinformation, enabling thriving and highly functional young adults who will be useful to themselves and society at large.
The teenage years are a critical time of discovery and decision. We guide adolescents to understand who they truly are and build an unshakeable self-esteem.
Teenagers receive soft skills, hard skills, formal and informal education — everything they need to excel and live purposefully.
We bridge the gap between teenagers and stakeholders — parents, guardians, teachers, and governments — ensuring every teenager is well catered for.
To raise adolescents who understand their identity and have a healthy self-esteem — balanced, purposeful, and ready to be a positive force in society.
A generation of teenagers who are balanced, have the right attitude towards life, and are loving purposefully — transforming Nigeria from the inside out.
Faith-based and purpose-driven, we use God's word and the power of media as our primary tools to reach, inspire, and transform the next generation of Nigerians.
At the heart of THE SHIFT FOUNDATION, our operational impact is centred around these four transformative pillars that shape every teenager we reach.
We rebuild, reshape, reform and reorient teenagers. Through this pillar, the mindsets of erring teenagers are corrected and redirected toward a purposeful, productive life.
