Jane Goodall's Roots & Shoots
The Jane Goodall’s Roots & Shoots program is about making positive change happen—for our people, for animals and for the environment. With tens of thousands of young people in more than 120 countries, the Roots & Shoots network connects youth of all ages who share a desire to create a better world. Young people identify problems in their communities and take action. Through service projects, youth-led campaigns and an interactive website, Roots & Shoots members are making a difference across the globe. The group of young people behind the founding of the Carmel Green Teen Micro-Grant Program was one of the many Jane Goodall’s Roots & Shoots groups leading service learning projects around the globe. The program would not have been created without the inspiration from and support of the Roots & Shoots network, so we thank them for their help.
