Roots & Shoots is the Jane Goodall Institute's global network of youth taking action to make the world a better place.

Roots & Shoots is guided by the founding principles and extraordinary vision of Dr. Jane Goodall, renowned primatologist, environmentalist and humanitarian.

Roots & Shoots is dedicated to inspiring, training and supporting tomorrow's leaders today. Roots & Shoots goes beyond motivating youth to learn about the issues facing our local and global communities—it helps them design, lead and implement their own projects to solve them.

Anyone can start or join a group in any setting: friends, classrooms, nature centres, zoos, scout troops, existing club or a mix of family and neighbours, etc...

A Roots & Shoots group membership gives your group:

• Access to a global network of over 100,000 Roots & Shoots members
• A connection to Dr. Goodall's on-going work
• Campaigns to be a part of
• Tools for action projects, like guides and a searchable project registry
• Leadership training and opportunities
• Our online global Roots & Shoots forum
