Our mission is to empower young people to affect positive change in their
communities.
Roots & Shoots Basecamps support local, grassroots efforts to amplify the impact of the program.
Basecamps are grown and nurtured by experienced coordinators. These “hives” of activity are where changemakers gather to:
- Collaborate and network
- Gain inspiration to turn Roots & Shoots community service project ideas into action
- Receive in-person support from like-minded individuals
- Celebrate positive change on the community with locally organized events
- And raise awareness of Roots & Shoots to inspire others to join the movement!

Atlanta
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 has received funding from local Commissioner, Ted Terry to start a Roots & Shoots group at Fernbank Museum. Commissioner Terry is also supporting the delivery of two community mapping workshops at Dekalb County libraries in partnership with the Fruitful Communities Foundation
