Roots & Shoots Groups
Since the founding of Shanghai Roots & Shoots, we have established strong cooperative relations with more than 430 schools in Eastern and South-eastern China where young students have launched creative programs and activities. They have learned much about project planning and management of volunteers. Additionally, the students got to enrich their social experience. Most importantly, thexperienced significant change directly resulting from their actions.

R&S Volunteers in Action
As we continue to expand, we are implementing more and more meaningful programs and activities. Our volunteers are the core of our organization, dedicating their time, skills, and passion to help us build a greener future. In recent years, our volunteer group has kept growing, every year with an average of 240 new volunteers joining us, 220 volunteers participating in our programs and activities, contributing more than 3,500 hours of service in total. These volunteers are actively engaged in activities focusing on "caring for the environment, animals and community". They help to bring green classes to schools, advocate for sustainable lifestyles, and even travel to remote areas to fight desertification!

Event Recap | Shanghai Roots & Shoots' School Groups Call for Marine Protection through Art
t the invitation of the Museum of Art Pudong (MAP) for a collaborative project, we hosted a special workshop on February 1, 2026, centered around the upcoming exhibition Carolina Caycedo: Salute of the Whales. Students and teachers from the Shanghai Roots & Shoots school groups responded to this reality through art; by working together to reshape plastic waste from their daily lives alongside actual ghost nets, they transformed these materials into an integral part of the exhibition—giving voice to this silent pollution and expressing themes of both warning and rebirth.
