Roots & Shoots and Service Learning

Teachers all over the nation are using the Roots & Shoots Service Learning model to engage their students in meaningful service.

Roots & Shoots has received accolades from teachers, administrators and students for the resources, support, and leadership that the program provides as they work through a service learning campaign.

The process is easy. Using the curriculum guide, students and teachers work together to identify a community need and develop a long-term campaign. Classrooms report back to the Roots & Shoots network and share their achievements.

Roots & Shoots groups weave service projects into their curriculum so the service they are providing reinforces the lessons they are learning and the lesson increases the quality of the service.
