Our Mission

Helping young people discover their purpose through their passion for animals.

The Young Roots Program mission is to help underserved youth explore and develop their life's purpose through their passion for animals - which reignites their motivation to learn, promotes resiliency, develops strengths and leadership skills, and re-establishes an overall sense of wellbeing; ultimately affecting lasting positive change in their lives and into their surrounding communities.

"To teach is to show the way." -Eckhart Tolle

This program is about showing young people how others have found their path to purpose, and giving them the tools and resources to turn their aspirations into their own unique purpose.
