We were so thrilled to recognize our AMAZING change-makers across the country who have done multiple community action projects in the last year! Our members and their community projects blow us away every day, and we were so excited to officially recognize them across our networks, and with exclusive digitally signed certificates plus more fun resources to honor their ideas, passion, and hard work in their communities.
Members who completed two projects in the Roots & Shoots database were eligible for a Certificate of Recognition signed by VP of Roots & Shoots Kamilah Martin, and those that had completed three projects were eligible for a signed certificate by Dr. Jane Goodall herself! Didn’t get a chance to apply for one this time? Don’t worry! There will be so many more opportunities to apply for to be recognized for your work through Roots & Shoots, so stay tuned!
This round of Certificates recognized over 26 change-makers from 12 different states California, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Michigan, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, and Oregon. We are so proud of the impact our members are making in communities big and small all across the country!
