The Roots & Shoots Youth Council Summer Summit 2023 at The Farmhouse

June 26-28, 2023

Roots & Shoots is one of the largest global movements powered by youth. The actions these young changemakers are taking in their communities have a collective impact that is changing the course of our shared future. This year’s Jane Goodall’s Roots & Shoots Youth Council – US 3-day Summit will be unlike any other! As a fun and dynamic program, the Jane Goodall’s Roots & Shoots Youth Council – US Summer Summit – hosted at Paul Krasinki’s The Farmhouse in Plymouth, MA – will provide skills training, workshops led by industry professionals, project presentations, service projects and more to support youth activists in the RSYC in making their mark in all aspects of their lives.

The result is creating long-lasting, meaningful relationships with change-making peers and all the tools and skills to create a better world for people, other animals, and the environment we share.
