Bay Area Basecamp

Local Center of Positive Change

Overview

The Bay Area Roots & Shoots Basecamp is a space for youth and community members to come together and take powerful action for people, animals, and the environment. Inspired by the Bay’s long legacy of activism, cultural diversity, and environmental leadership, we support local projects that reflect the region’s spirit of interconnected justice. Through mentorship, workshops, and hands-on service, we help young people grow as compassionate leaders who are rooted in community and ready to create meaningful change.
