Atlanta Basecamp

Local Center of Positive Change

Overview

Roots & Shoots Basecamp Atlanta is dedicated to helping communities identify problems and opportunities in their own community and empower them to take action to address these issues. Food insecurity, climate change, and solid waste disposal are just some of the challenges our participants are working to combat. In addition, R&S Basecamp Atlanta is working with local seniors to build their knowledge about nutrition and wellness as they increase their gardening skills.
