WHO
WE ARE

We are a network of educators, farms, projects, non-profit organizations and schools all working together to provide opportunities for youth to engage with hands-on, place based local strategies to adapt to and mitigate climate change. We ground our work in a Just Transition, training future generations how to shift power, center social and ecological justice and move from exploitative and extractive practices to ones that are regenerative and reciprocal. 

 

We do this by centering equity, belonging, diversity and sharing decision making power. Moving from hierarchal structures to collective responsibility we acknowledge the places where we hold privilege whether  in race, class, gender, creed, learning style, longevity with the collective, social capital or otherwise. We know that we can not do this work without each other; we uplift everyone for what they bring. When we speak of our successes, we honor all those that come before us and after us in the work for liberation for all people and species. 

 

We base our work on love for each other and Earth.

The ReGeneration Corps grafted with the White River Natural Resource Conservation District in September of 2024 to form a mutually symbiotic partnership that has already increased educational opportunities in conservation planning for youth, strengthened local food security, and regenerative farming practices being implemented on farms across the region.
