Setting a New Standard

How We Build Our Community

At Shift, we carefully select new members to ensure our community remains a welcoming and inspiring place for everyone. Our vetting process helps us find individuals who align with our values and vision. By doing this, we create a harmonious environment where everyone can thrive and contribute to our collective vision.
