Best Year Ever campaign builds momentum

In January at SHIFT Launch Pad, the entire SHIFT Community declared this year would be the ‘Best Year Ever!’ As a result, this is the Best Year Ever! Within our growing ecosystem of project leaders, partners, and supporters, there have been many success stories. We have ventures that have earned investment dollars, we have new businesses that have launched, and of course we have continued to bring executive level education and dynamic meet ups.

But don’t take our word for it, dive into this latest edition of Decision Makers Boulevard for the full scope of work SHIFT is producing during this amazing ‘Best Year Ever’ campaign.

SHIFT Forward Centers are mixed use facilities designed for economic mobility

On March 14, 2024, in front of a packed house at the Entebbe International Business Summit, SHIFT Founder and Visionary Leader, Ethan Brisby delivered an address overviewing the SHIFT Enterprise Academy agenda in East Africa. It was at this time, the first public announcement for plans to construct multiple mixed use developments anchored by a state of the art educational facility. Collectively the destination is known as the SHIFT Forward Center.

Since March, SHIFT and its partners have worked to secure financing, a feasible site, and memorandums of understanding with contractors and suppliers.

Check out these clips of our site visit in May 2024 to Mityana located within Uganda’s dominant Central Region.

SHIFT Launch Pad kicks off ‘Best Year Ever’ Campaign

In December 2022, SHIFT Enterprise Academy introduced a new program designed to compliment our virtual trainings with in person community building. That program is known as SHIFT Launch Pad. The most promising ventures and Project Leaders are invited for 3 days of intensive training on topics ranging from time management to financial management to maintaining the mindset of a champion.

This year we kicked off 2024 with a hybrid in person/virtual SHIFT Launch Pad that set the tone for our Best Year Ever campaign. And lets just say, the event did not disappoint, but don’t take our word for it…

Next Gen Robotics provides an in road into youth development

Mentoring youth in the Next Gen Innovators lab prior to competitions in Boston, Massachusetts, USA has evolved into one of the best things to happen for SHIFT thus far during the Best Year Ever campaign. 

Building a relationship with the Founder and youth from Next Gen Innovators is fueling our long term goal for research & developing at our Forward Centers leading to robotics for industry.

These young people are amazing, and a beacon of hope in Uganda, one of the world’s youngest countries by age demographic, but don’t take our word for it…

Take Action with SHIFT today

To support our work, we have set up a crowdfunding page in partnership with Donor Box. As we move closer to fully stabilizing operations in East Africa, your support will help SHIFT expand into DR Congo, engage refugee camps across Uganda, and host our first SHIFT Launch Pad in Kenya.

Did you know Uganda has the most refugees in all of Africa? At SHIFT, we know displacement doesn’t mean you do not have ideas, so we will be introducing additional ambitious minds to The SHIFT Approach. This also includes Kenya where we recently saw an uprising amongst the youth known as Generation Z. Our next SHIFT Launch Pad event will take place this fall in Nairobi and Mombasa.

Our 20204 programming will continue to be dynamic. If you can not physically join us in East Africa, you can show your love by sending support for our mission.
