The mission of Regeneración is to achieve climate justice through community-driven solutions. We build a shared sense of urgency among community leaders, grassroots groups, nonprofit agencies, researchers, and public agencies to collectively work on climate justice. We expand leadership in underrepresented communities to inform local strategies and decisions required to respond and adapt to climate change.
Young people will live longer with the effects of climate impacts and their leadership is needed now! Worldwide and in the Pajaro Valley, the people who’ve done the least to cause the problem are suffering most from its effects. Regeneración leads Santa Cruz County in social justice-focused climate action.
In 2025 we will mentor 10 or more students and amplify their voices, actions, and leadership through photo storytelling, social media, tabling and other community engagement activities. We’ll present to a minimum of six high school classes and clubs. Every year we will employ one or more high school students through paid internships.
Please join us!
Volunteering with Regeneración has given me an incredible sense of optimism and hope for the work being done. I saw hope reflected in the eyes of students and parents for a brighter and better future.
