👉 The Roots Project is an initiative launched by the nonprofit organization Roots & Shoots, founded by Jane Fonda and her daughter, Roseanne. It focuses on empowering young people, particularly those from underprivileged backgrounds, by fostering leadership, community service, and personal growth through a curriculum that combines environmental stewardship, social action, and cultural awareness. The project encourages students to engage in projects that address local and global issues, such as environmental conservation, animal welfare, and social justice. By connecting students with mentors and resources, Roots & Shoots aims to develop well-rounded individuals who are committed to making a positive impact in their communities and the world.
