We are nurturing the compassionate leaders of tomorrow.

Get To Know Our Model

On October 1, 2025, we were saddened to learn about the peaceful passing of our founder, Dr. Jane Goodall. She inspired countless individuals around the globe, and through her research and advocacy for animals, people, and the environment, she left a lasting impact the world will never forget.

Jane deeply cared about young people, as they cared for her. Here are some resources that may help in this time.

USE THIS GUIDE: How to Support Children and Young People During Their Grief Process

For some, dealing with the passing of Jane may be upsetting and difficult. This guide offers advice from a psychiatrist on language and actions to help in processing grief, especially for young people and their mentors.
