Who better to lead positive change than the youth who live in and love their communities? The Roots & Shoots philosophy emphasizes that local people are deeply connected to and reliant on healthy community environments as they are the best stewards of their own strategies for creating positive impact.
With local volunteers helping guide the process, these R&S Basecamps create a supportive environment for individuals to network with like-minded changemakers, turn ideas into action-based projects, and celebrate the difference they are making. Basecamp Mumbai is a beacon of hope, innovation, and action, where every participant is empowered to create a lasting impact in their own way, ensuring that compassion and positive change are woven into the fabric of everyday life.
By empowering young leaders to collaborate in shaping our collective future, JGII is happy to announce the launch of Roots & Shoots Basecamp Mumbai in February 2025. Inspired by Dr. Jane Goodall’s recent visit, this initiative allows local communities to actively engage in environmental and social action in ways that reflect their unique contexts. The Basecamp serves as a dynamic hub where changemakers are equipped with the tools, support, and inspiration they need to collaborate, innovate, and launch projects that bring about real transformation.
