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!
