The roots and shoots model of service is broken down into four easy steps. They're structured just enough so that you know when to use each step and accompanying resources. But, it is flexible enough so that you can implement it using a variety of timeline's type of programs and academic subjects to suit your individual needs. Most importantly this formula will help guarantee that your campaign is youth led. If you're an educator in the United States the formula has also been aligned to Common Core standards. If you wish to use them but it's not necessary. Each week we will explore one of the four steps. But first, let's review what the steps are. Welcome to the roots and shoots four step formula. This tutorial will walk you through each step in the formula to identify and implement a service campaign. These steps are also thoroughly outlined in our downloadable tool kit located on the roots and shoots website. The four steps of the roots and shoots formula are; one - get engaged, two - map it, three - take action and four - celebrate. But let's dig a little deeper. Step one is to engage participants and inspire them to take action, do this by sharing the stories of inspirational change makers like Dr. Jane Goodall and show them examples of other young people tackling real world problems. To support this step, we offer multiple resources including a variety of media, biographies, lessons and activities plus thousands of global project examples to share. Step two is mapping, are you unsure of where to get started? Map your community to explore the location, characteristics, resources and needs of local people, animals and the environment. Community mapping can be used in every environment with young people of all ages. We provide a community mapping 101 pen and paper guide to identify a long term service campaign, an environmental micro mapping sprint to identify a quick one time service project, two digital mapping guides co-developed with our partners at Esri and at Google, you get to choose what works best for you. Step three is to take action. Here you narrow down the service ideas discovered through mapping and you will plan and implement your service campaign. We provide several resources for making the most of the step including creative ways to narrow down identified community needs, tools for planning and tips for collaborating with community stakeholders. Lastly, is Step four, celebrate. This includes measuring your impact and celebrating your work. This stage represents the culminating event where you recognize the success of your work with your Roots and Shoots members and the community. Download the Roots and Shoots formula toolkit and follow these four simple steps to join Dr. Jane Goodall and the Jane Goodall's Roots and Shoots program and making a difference today. Next, we're going to explain the four steps in greater detail beginning with getting your young people engaged. Before we do, we would like to mention a very important element of Jane Goodall's roots in its program. Interconnectedness. Ever wonder why we encourage young people to make a difference for people, animals and the environment? It is because Jane realized right away that people, animals and the environment were all interconnected. They rely on one another. You cannot help one without directly or indirectly helping the others as well. Regardless of the type of need you and your Roots and Shoots group chooses to address your Roots and Shoots campaign reflect on how it will benefit all three areas. Here is an example of our roots and shoots project in Portugal that worked very hard to intentionally impact all three areas. You may not choose to be as intentional as this example but it is still important to address with students the ways that people, animals and the environment in their community are indeed interconnected. I am- my name is Constancia, I'm from within Portugal and I'm going to share with you one of the projects- of one of our groups did. So this all started in 2013. When there was this big storms in Portugal and there was a local animal shelter who was totally destroyed. And so the volunteers they started trying to get the animals inside from some temporary conditions but they thought they need a proper shelter for the dogs and the cats. And so they wanted to make these big shelter with a hospital- Vet hospital near to it so it can be sustainable over time. And they started making fundraising to building the shelter in the hospital because they did a very big music concert. They sell big. They are making many many things to get the money and then they come to me and they told me this project and I said that's a great project, of course, it's a very good roots and shoots project for animals. But it would be even nicer if you can incorporate people. How do you think you can incorporate people in your project? And then went home and they thought and they started bringing some dogs for the shelter to schools which is good for the dogs and was good for the kids because they get to interact with the animals. And then they thought that was still better for the dogs and from- for the children. And they thought what can we do that is even more important to people. And they started this partnership with the nursing home for old people, elderly and now they take the dogs of the shelter to the home at least once a week. So the old people can interact with the dogs and the dogs are very affectionate and they are all very happy and it has improved their lifestyle. And I told him that he's really really great. Now you were doing a project for animals and also helps people. What about the environment? What can you do about the environment? And so, they decided to do some action on it and they went to clean the beaches Portugal as long sea seashores and everything is dirty most of the time with garbage. And so they took the dogs for a walk and collected the garbage with the dog. So it was a walk for the dogs and cleaning up the beaches as well. So, here you have a project that was firstly aiming for animals but then was also good for people and environment. Now that we're all thinking interconnected, click on the next video to begin learning about each step in the roots and shoots formula.
