[FONT=Franklin Gothic Book]Shift Engagement Project (SEP) [/FONT]
[FONT=Franklin Gothic Book] [/FONT]
[FONT=Franklin Gothic Book]SEP will support the greater involvement of Shift clients in Shift Calgary, offer the opportunity to increase the voice of those involved in sex work, enable Shift clients an opportunity to develop skills and leadership, as well as educate the wider community on issues surrounding sex work. Shift acknowledges that the participation of those directly involved in sex work will help reduce stigma and discrimination associated with sex work, which is a powerful tool for breaking down the barriers of fear and prejudice. We want you to feel engaged in Shift Calgary and have the opportunity to become a leader. [/FONT]
