Our Values
At Rooted in Community, we believe that youth are powerful — their vision, voice, and action are catalysts for change. Our work is grounded in care, accountability, community, and the belief that a more just future is possible when youth lead.
Youth Leadership
Young people are not passive recipients of change — they are organizers, educators, farmers, and policy-shapers. RIC provides platforms and tools for youth to lead boldly.
Intergenerational
Collaboration
Transformation deepens when youth, adults, and community work side-by-side, sharing knowledge, resources, respect, and power across generations.
Community Healing
& Wellness
We uplift practices that restore the earth, nourish people, and honor ancestral knowledge through land work, storytelling, ritual, and art.
Collective Action
Whether growing food, organizing summits, or advancing the Youth Food Bill of Rights, we act together in solidarity with movements for justice.
