Join us for an action-oriented online teacher professional development course! This course will teach participants how to identify and implement a local service-learning campaign using the Roots & Shoots program model. The service learning curriculum equips participants with teacher resources to discover the differences between service learning and community service and apply the Roots & Shoots model to help youth have a voice in identifying and addressing needs in their community.

At Roots & Shoots, our goal is to develop compassionate leaders to make the world a better place for people, other animals, and the environment. Please help us achieve that goal! Complete the course and mentor young people to lead community change using community mapping, collaborating with stakeholders, and designing practical solutions through campaigns.

Roots & Shoots was founded by Dr Jane Goodall in 1991, so in 2021 we’re celebrating our 30th birthday! We invite you to help us celebrate by looking back at how the world has changed for the better since 1991 and predicting what 2051 will bring.
