Have a wonderful holiday season, from all of us at Shift. Remember -- "It's not how much we give but how much love we put into giving." - Mother Theresa #experienceshift #discoveryourgreatness

Learning new cooking and baking skills is always an enjoyable part of programming. In the spirit of giving, the youth recently baked for community members as a Random Act of Kindness. #experienceshift #discoveryourgreatness

Recently our staff and youth made bracelets to reflect on their time at Ilagiittugut. Participants picked a bead to represent themselves as well as one for each youth and staff member they've met during their time with Shift. CYC Supervisor Heather says the bracelet reminds her of all the relationships she has made and all the moments that have helped her to grow and learn, for which she is thankful. #experienceshift #discoveryourgreatness

Believing in yourself is the first step to accomplishing anything. "Be persistent. Your dreams are worth more than you know." - Brendon Burchard #experienceshift #discoveryourgreatness

Our youth recently spent time designing and sewing these ribbon skirts. Given that they are a sign of the power and strength of Indigenous women, our youth created them with deep care and pride. #experienceshift #discoveryourgreatness

Every day we make decisions that help determine the course of our lives. "What is right is not always popular, and what is popular is not always right." - Albert Einstein #experienceshift #discoveryourgreatness

You can't change the past, but you can learn from it. "Do the best you can until you know better. Then, when you know better, do better." - Maya Angelou #experienceshift #discoveryourgreatness

On #transawarenessweek and every week we stand in solidarity with the trans, non-binary, gender diverse and gender non-conforming community. #experienceshift #discoveryourgreatness

Meet Kerry, one of our Child and Youth Care Practitioners in NWT. With 7 years of frontline social services experience under her belt, Kerry brings with her a deep understanding of what it takes to serve those in her community. Kerry's strengths lie in her ability to make genuine connections with those she has the honour to support and she truly believes "We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children." #experienceshift #discoveryourgreatness

We would like to celebrate the work anniversaries of two of our valued Child and Youth Care supervisors in Nunavut. Tricia (left) is on her third year with Shift and Heather (right) is on her second. Thank you Tricia and Heather for all you've done and continue to do! #experienceshift #discoveryourgreatness

"Almost everything that is great has been done by youth." Benjamin Disaeli #experienceshift #discoveryourgreatness

We continued to spend a lot of time outside, but also made time for indoor activities - like a blindfolded obstacle course! #experienceshift #discoveryourgreatness

You can tell when someone is on a path to greatness when they smile with confidence. Smile and let everyone know that today you're a lot stronger than you were yesterday. Drake #experienceshift #discoveryourgreatness

We love participating in ‘Random Acts of Kindness’ at Trailcross, and recently our youth baked cookies and delivered them to Elders at the Northern Light Special Care Home. #experienceshift #discoveryourgreatness

This summer the youth loved to go for hikes throughout the terrain of Iqaluit. One of their favourites was a hike to Apex! #experienceshift #discoveryourgreatness

Stepping out of the shadows and making yourself known, takes courage and belief in yourself. You are confined only by the walls you build yourself. Anonymous #experienceshift #discoveryourgreatness

Lunch is served! Life skills at Trailcross include learning the art of healthy cooking. Sushi’s one of our favorites. #experienceshift #discoveryourgreatness

The youth have been working on their fitness this summer. They have taken part in plank challenges each morning! #experienceshift #discoveryourgreatness

Looking at life through a positive lense helps to give you a better perspective. Choose to be optimistic, it feels better. Dalai Lama #experienceshift #discoveryourgreatness

Meet Monica Chander, our Child and Youth Care Practitioner completing her first rotation at Ilagiittugut. Here in Iqaluit, Monica enjoys spending time with youth out on the land, learning more about Inuit culture, teaching youth to play the ukulele, and celebrating all successes - big and small! #experienceshift #discoveryourgreatness

Our Community Connector, Lynette, calls herself a ‘Cree-ative native’, so you can imagine how much fun it was for the youth to spend quality time with her beading and making dream catchers. #experienceshift #discoveryourgreatness

No matter how small, everything you do is one more step towards change. Act as if what you do makes a Difference- it does. William James #experienceshift #discoveryourgreatness

We caught up with Jodyann Brown Miltenberger, Child & Youth Worker at Trailcross. "As someone who grew up in Jamaica, I value the importance of learning and understanding the relations between Indigenous people and their ancestral lands." #experienceshift #discoveryourgreatness

Summer has brought us warmer days and our youth wanted to take advantage of the beautiful landscape that is Nunavut! We engaged in many outdoor activities, the 2am sunrise hike being a favourite. #experienceshift #discoveryourgreatness

When we slow down and process our feelings instead of reacting-we're better able to make positive choices for moving forward through uncertain times. "In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity". Albert Einstein #experienceshift #discoveryourgreatness

We recently had an unexpected guest join our Trailcross team! #experienceshift #discoveryourgreatness

One of our empowering moments of the summer was our youth demonstrating a keen interest in global topics such as the Black Lives Matter movement. They took part in meaningful conversations around the importance of equality for all and standing up for what is right. We are so proud of our youth for choosing to be part of the Black Lives Matter rally held on June 5, 2020. #experienceshift #discoveryourgreatness
