Adult Champions

Roots & Shoots projects are guided by adult allies (like you) in classrooms, youth groups, community centres, family homes – everywhere youth gather.

Use our online guide to teach young people how to design their own projects. Work with them to tackle the intersection of biodiversity loss, climate change, and environmental inequity through a 4-step system. Celebrate their successes and help them make a visible impact.

There are 4 steps to every Roots & Shoots project:

1. Get Inspired
2. Map Your Community
3. Take Action
4. Celebrate Your Impact!

As an adult champion, thank you for your interest in helping young people make a meaningful difference.
