SUMMARY:Youth Action Through Roots & Shoots
DESCRIPTION:Youth have the power to build a better world! \n“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.
