Jane Goodall Instagram – 🤩 The 2024 #RSYCSummit was so inspiring! 💫
 
With 16 new members added to this year’s council, our week with @tetonscience was the perfect opportunity for new and returning members to create their community! Here are just a handful of highlights from the week:
 
🌟 Presenting on their impactful projects in their own communities, lessons learned, and the impact of Roots & Shoots on their lives
 
🤝 Participating in fun team-building activities on TSS’s challenge course, completing the courses through cooperation within their teams
 
🌳 Exploring Grand Teton National Park with Teton Science Schools (TSS) instructors Abby, Naomi, Kayla, and Mary Grace, and learning about the unique plant communities there
 
🏔️ Removing invasive musk thistle and hound’s tongue plants with TSS’s partner volunteer Meta and weighing the flowers to track their contribution to her ongoing project
 
🗺️ Joining in on conference-style discussions and trainings to continue their professional development, including a community mapping exercise
 
Thank you to everyone who made this summit a success — Joe Tatelbaum, Grace Wang, @Macys , @delta , the staff at Teton Science Schools, and of course, our incredible youth leaders! You are why young people are Jane’s greatest reason for hope 🫶🌱

Jane Goodall Instagram – “If you’ve heard this story before, well that’s too bad,” Dr. Jane Goodall said with a twinkle in her eye to a packed auditorium at Seattle’s Moore Theater.

Dr. Goodall went on to explain that in indigenous American tribes, stories are often told over and over again, becoming a source of comfort and familiar knowledge. She expressed her appreciation for this tradition and joked that if anyone in the audience didn’t like it, “too bad,” as she would be sharing her familiar stories tonight and throughout her tour — she’s currently traveling the world in celebration of her 90th birthday.

As Jane tells us, stories create a sense of community and connection to each other. This humorous anecdote from Jane was a powerful reminder that stories have the ability to transcend time and culture, bringing people together and providing comfort and inspiration.
