The 2022-2023 Organizing Fellowship equips high school students with the tools to become insightful, joyful, and purposeful lifelong leaders.

Rhizome

Rhizome was co-founded in August 2021 by 90 young people across the U.S. We met through youth civics work and felt compelled to build a nonprofit that is student-led, community-driven, and committed to doing the work year-round. We know that a better world is possible, and are willing to work for it.

We provide nonpartisan resources, training, and community spaces for youth leaders to engage in civic education through peer-mentorship.

Rhizome Organizers are working across the US. Explore the interactive map to meet our team!

Rhizomes are root systems that grow horizontally in unpredictable directions without beginning or end. Rhizomes are always in-process, always growing, always adapting to form symbiotic relationships with existing forms of life. We are a self-organizing system; deeper than grassroots.
