Jane Goodall’s Roots & Shoots Youth Council Applications are OPEN!
Roots and Shoots Youth Council USA is looking for inspiring young change-makers to apply and become part of a group of passionate and compassionate youth leaders from around the U.S. who exemplify what it means to be a part of the Roots & Shoots movement.
R&S Youth Council members gain special access to career-building opportunities like media training, information sessions with influential mentors across fields, and workshops to craft their personal stories. Council members are ambassadors of our program, so there may even be occasional speaking engagements!
Application link can be found here.
