Program hubs

Focused on our core areas of operations, the program hubs play a key design and decision making role to ensure that our activities and outputs stay on track.

Research and Advocacy Hub

The Research and Advocacy Hub works to ensure that SHIFT’s supports for community-university research and advocacy collaborations develop in alignment with SHIFT’s values, mission, and vision while being driven by the priorities of our partners and nourished by best practices from the field.

Participatory Governance Hub

Governance Hub members are passionate about how healthy organizational processes and decision-making structures can contribute positively to social change. Their work is focused on ensuring that SHIFT’s governance model is of greatest possible benefit to our mission, and on sharing what we’re learning at SHIFT with others interested in the transformative power of alternative governance systems.
