In Jane Goodall's own words, "sometimes just because of one individual, a whole species can be saved." Through Jane's Roots & Shoots program, you can help make the world a better place for people, animals and the environment. Join a Roots & Shoots group in your area, start one of your own and encourage those around you to become involved. You, too, can be a hero.
What is the Roots & Shoots® program?
Roots & Shoots® is designed to engage and inspire youth of all ages through community engagement and service-learning projects. Founded by Dr. Jane Goodall, this fast-growing global program is based on the principle that knowledge leads to compassion, which inspires action. All Roots & Shoots groups plan and implement service projects showing care and concern for people, animals and the environment. Roots & Shoots groups become part of a global network that connects teachers, adult leaders, parents and children.

What is the Jane Goodall Institute?
The Jane Goodall Institute (JGI), founded in 1977, is a global nonprofit that empowers people to make a difference for all living things. Grounded in Dr. Jane Goodall's pioneering study of chimpanzee behavior, begun in Gombe National Park, Tanzania, in 1960, the Jane Goodall Institute emphasizes the power of the individual to make a difference. The institute focuses on education, conservation and development, and wildlife research.
