Shift Youth

Shift Englewood Youth Orchestra is reinventing itself to adhere and adapt to the challenges posted by Covid

 2022 and on we aim to maximize our impact by focusing our efforts on large scale projects and community partnerships.

Our Jumpsart pilot program brings together undergraduate student mentors from the Chicago College of Performing Arts at Roosevelt University to provide first hand guidance and support for their peers high school mentees. 

By supporting students at this crucial time in their development we can fill a gap that currently exists for students from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds transitioning into secondary education.
