The Family Toolkit

The Roots & Shoots Family Toolkit is your guide to making a positive impact…

This Toolkit is your official guide to create a project that makes a difference in your community, while learning and getting inspired as a family!

Maybe you and your family want to do something about the challenges you see in your community and our world— issues like social justice, pollution, or climate change. This Toolkit will help you use the Roots & Shoots 4-Step Formula to better understand your community, the issues that matter to you, your ability to take action, and what you can do through a project to make things better.

What’s a Toolkit?

Everything you need to create change in your community is right here in the Family Toolkit. Our Toolkit provides activities, guidance, examples, and ideas to take you through the 4-Steps to learn and grow essential skills by creating an impactful service project: 1) Get Engaged 2)Observe 3) Take Action and 4) Celebrate!

By using this guide and doing your project, you’ll get to register your project on our database and add yourself to the massive and amazing network of Roots & Shoots members all around the world! Through this experiential learning, you’ll also grow Roots & Shoots Compassionate Traits: 9 important traits chosen by young people for young people to help you develop into someone who makes holistic, compassionate decisions for people, other animals, and the planet. Whatever your family looks like, just remember…every action makes a difference.
