“New Roots helped me explore my interests and think about where I want to go in life.”
Rachel Mitchell
“I remember discovering the activist within myself at New Roots. Many institutions attempt to silence their students in an effort to keep the peace, whereas New Roots encouraged individuality. My resistance was not disbanded but encouraged when I saw the need to stand up or for something, which encouraged me to carry on with that determination.”
Ezra Davis
“When I went off to college I felt very prepared. Some of the most important things I learned at New Roots that served me well in college were how to work in a group and how to pursue my own academic interests.”
Sarajane Roenke
“I always wanted to find a career that would help people, that would make a difference. New Roots helped me see that doing environmental work would be the best use of my skill set to accomplish this, and it gave me a head start in the field before college.”
