Shift Work Forward is redefining what workforce systems can achieve — making them more inclusive, responsive, and effective for everyone. At the heart of our work is a network of local workforce leaders who bring deep, on-the-ground knowledge of workforce needs in their communities and understand of how racial inequities impact the people they serve. We equip our Network Partners with tools, resources, and a national platform to test new ideas, celebrate progress, learn from setbacks, and share what’s working.

Our network is always evolving as the world around us changes. This webpage serves as a resource for communities interested in becoming a part of the Shift Work Forward network. Below you will find resources that will provide you with information about the value of the network, strengthening organizations, and the membership application process.
