A Space to Grow and Create Change
Empowering Youth for a Just and Sustainable Future
We believe in the potential of every young person
Together, we work to turn their voices into action, creating change from the ground up.
MISSION AND VISION
Based in California, Youth on Root’s mission is to center low-income youth and youth of color as change agents in their communities by providing tools for learning from each other and opportunities to use their unique power to promote environmental justice. We envision a self-sustaining grassroots movement led by youth who have meaningful opportunities to enact their visions of environmental justice for their communities
OUR COMMUNITY OF CHANGEMAKERS
