As the impacts of climate change intensify, it is more urgent than ever to equip LA’s youth to lead solutions. The JGI Roots & Shoots (R&S) LA Basecamp is part of the global movement Dr. Jane Goodall launched nearly 35 years ago. We help young people in understanding the connections between people, other animals, and the environment, and support them in designing and leading their own local projects. Through training, mentorship, and project support, we are growing a network of youth driving lasting, compassionate change across the region.
