Shift Unlimited, the all new Toronto-based youth-led network, has created over 50 one-of-a-kind co-op placements for high school students within socially, environmentally, technologically, and culturally innovative organizations. If you're not already signed up for co-op, that’s okay because there's still time to rearrange your second semester schedule to accommodate this one-of-a-kind opportunity, but the time to act is now....

Want to know more?
From March 2007 until June 2007, working through your high school's community-based education ("co-op") program, you will contribute 15 hours per week to an organization that matches your interests, skills, and/or career goals. In addition to a great learning experience and tremendous contacts, you will earn two academic credits for your efforts - replacing two regular in-school classes for second semester. If you are interested in participating in the Semesters for Social Innovation initiative you must attend our initial launch event:
