What Makes the Roots & Shoots Program Unique?
|
Caring and Compassionate Leadership Roots & Shoots is guided by the founding principles and extraordinary vision of Dr. Jane Goodall, renowned primatologist, environmentalist and humanitarian. Her firm belief that young people, when informed and empowered, when they realize that what they do truly makes a difference, can indeed change the world, is at the very heart of our program. This powerful message of hope inspires us all. Our program—dedicated to inspiring tomorrow's leaders today—not only motivates young people to learn about pertinent issues facing our local and global communities, but helps them actually design, lead and implement their own projects as a means of solving them. | | | | | Flexible, Fun and Affordable Program The possibilities are endless with Roots & Shoots! Our flexible model lets members customize projects to meet their individual and group needs. Anyone can start or join a group in any setting—in classrooms, families, home schools, neighborhoods, zoos, nature centers, scout troops and beyond. With Roots & Shoots, there are no rigid requirements and no limit to your imagination. The projects that groups design are fun for all involved, and the tools and resources that Roots & Shoots provides are affordable for all participants. | | | | | There's Something for Everyone in Our Global Network Roots & Shoots offers a wealth of resources and networking opportunities for kids and teens, parents, educators, college students, group leaders and supporters alike.
