Empathy
At Roots of Empathy, we believe that building a more caring, peaceful, and civil world begins with children—but it doesn’t end there.
Through our programs, children develop empathy through experiential learning. At the same time, we are helping to grow a global empathy movement—working with educators, leaders, influencers, and decision-makers to bring empathy into classrooms, communities, and policies.
Because when empathy shapes the environments around children—not just their individual experiences—the impact is profound and lasting.
This is how change happens: child by child—and system by system
