Youth Action Through Roots & Shoots

"Every individual has a role to play. Every individual makes a difference." These are the wise words of Dr. Jane Goodall, an icon in the world of chimpanzee research and species conservation. In 1991, Dr. Jane launched her youth program, Roots & Shoots, to empower young people to make a difference in their own way. Roots & Shoots supports youth projects in over 60 countries worldwide, and in September, Roots & Shoots opened an office in Tampa Bay! What does this mean for you? If you have an idea for a service project benefiting animals, people, or the environment we all share, Roots & Shoots offers resources to help make it happen. Roots & Shoots supports youth projects in any setting: individuals, families, schools, after school programs, clubs, home schools, or nonprofit organizations serving youth. Come join Bonnie Eaton, coordinator for Roots & Shoots - Tampa Bay, to learn more about Roots & Shoots and how to get started on a project!
