In 2024, the ReGeneration Corps merged with the White River Natural Resources Conservation District (WRNRCD) to create a unified force that strengthens our collective mission in cultivating youth leadership in local climate solutions while supporting resilient ecosystems and regenerative agriculture in the region.

This merger, or “grafting” as we call it, combines the strengths of both organizations to form a robust network for community engagement, education, and ecological stewardship. ReGeneration Corps has been instrumental in connecting youth and community members to regenerative practices at our native tree nurseries, community garden sites, and local farms. The WRNRCD has a long-standing history of supporting conservation initiatives and land stewardship in central VT. 

The ReGeneration Corps program serves as a Community Partner connecting middle and high school-aged students in Vermont with leading organizations in resilience and agriculture. This partnership supports students' academic needs while priming them for engagement with transitions through the acute challenges of our time. 

The program is working with schools across the Upper Valley to increase access to local climate solutions grounded in community projects and conservation practices.
