So…. just exactly who or what is SHIFT ATL?
SHIFT ATL was officially born in June 2019 by a group of young(er) professionals who believe in creating a positive “shift” for the Atlantic community. We aim to be a development catalyst organization by identifying the needs and wants of residents and creating an actionable plan to move forward. We also serve as a conduit and connector for those that have a passion project but not necessarily the means or backing to get started. Getting the right people and pieces in place to support new and expanding businesses, organizations and projects is at the heart of how we operate.
THE LESS BUTTONED-UP, MORE ON-BRAND VERSION?...
SHIFT ATL is an ever-growing group of people that believe in our community’s potential. We recognize all the amazing things that have been brought to life here through generous individuals, businesses, organizations and groups. We also see the untapped opportunities. At the end of the day, we just want to leave a positive mark on Atlantic and have a hell of a lot of fun along the way!
