Our mission is to empower young people to effect positive change in their communities. We aim to support the incredible work being done by young people, educators, and community leaders to build a better tomorrow, starting today.
The Roots & Shoots Project Grant encourages and financially supports youth, educators, community groups, and leaders in the United States who are committed to making a positive impact on their communities, focusing on projects that benefit people, other animals, and the environment. With a grant of $250, applicants are invited to plan, initiate, or celebrate community-action projects that align with these values. This offering is aimed at any Roots & Shoots member looking to start or continue a project dedicated to creating positive community change.
