grooted.org is about grassroots change and community.  its mission is to create an alternative dialogue to the entrenched ideas and institutions that dictate how social issues are framed, understood, and addressed.

who better to begin and nurture this dialogue than the 'people on the ground' who dedicate their work, studies, and lives to improving social conditions, but are not given the opportunity to voice their opinions?

grooted.org recognizes their contribution and expertise.  from education and health to human rights and social justice, grooters have their fingers on the pulse of communities and are innovating the ideas and programs to improve them.

by connecting people and providing them with powerful tools to share ideas, grooted.org promotes a groundUP approach to social change that explores alternative ideas and approaches. this is how it works:

social change is a process that begins with awareness.  by sharing ideas and promoting social consciousness, grooters plant the seeds that put the process in motion.  change won't happen overnight, but we have to start somewhere....  that place is here.  join today and find out what happens when we all get grooted: social change, groundUP!
