Make a difference both home and abroad
At SHIFT Enterprise Academy, we believe in people-powered progress. Everything we’ve built—our programs, our impact, our momentum—has been made possible because of passionate individuals who raise their hands to help.
And now, we're inviting you to raise yours.
Whether you’re based in Texas or East Africa, online or on the ground, there’s a place for your time, energy, and unique skills at SHIFT. You don’t need a specific background—just a heart for people and a willingness to serve.
Why Volunteer with SHIFT?
Volunteering with us isn’t about checking a box. It’s about becoming part of a global movement that empowers underserved communities through mindset shifting, skill development, entrepreneurship, and opportunity creation.
Our volunteers get to:
Make meaningful connections
Build leadership and communication skills
Co-create real solutions with real people
Be on the frontlines of transformation across two continents
Whether you're an experienced professional, a student, or somewhere in between, your time matters—and it multiplies impact.
