United Global Shift delivers workshops for people engaged in initiatives that make a difference.

We coach people on projects that both empower individuals and shift the systems that perpetuate chronic issues such as poverty, discrimination, environmental degradation and war. 

We work with leaders (and aspiring leaders) who want to be at the forefront of positive change, going beyond band-aid, fix-it solutions. Join the Shift today!

Jessica Underwood-Varma’s journey with United Global Shift began when she volunteered to coordinate logistics for the very first workshop in New York City. In 2011, she became a workshop facilitator-coach and has led United Global Shift workshops in New York City, Trinidad and Tobago, and Canada. She also acts as Project Coordinator for United Global Shift’s NYC workshops. Jess is an Education Associate at The Lower East Side Tenement Museum in Manhattan, where she is responsible for designing and overseeing the Museum’s Costumed Interpretation programming. The Museum tells the stories of immigrants past and present in New York City. Jess’s work is dedicated to the following: a shift in tourism from a passive to an active, socially conscious activity; in education, a shift from the systems and patterns that shape society being visible only to a select few, to those systems and patterns being visible to all; and a shift in community, from an “us vs. them” to an “us and us” model, a thriving space that fosters responsible global citizenship. Jess is also an actress and singer.
