Regeneration Corps is launching in the fall of 2020, connecting youth, farmers, teachers, racial justice leaders, schools, and resilience and agriculture organizations. While students learn regenerative agriculture skills and receive credit for hands-on experience, farms welcome youth to the land and receive volunteer help with projects and build community connections.
Students can choose from three "tracks" - or project types - and farms can choose what types of experiences they want to offer students. Project sites can receive support from the Regeneration Corps staff to develop projects. The tracks or project types include:
At this time, Regeneration Corps offers three different types of learning opportunities:
1. Regeneration Corps Introduction Days: These are one-off events where students take part in a community service project and learn more about Regeneration Corps. This option requires no experience or long term commitment and allows students (and families!) to decide if Regeneration Corps is right for them!
2. Regenerative Agriculture 101: This four-part workshop series covering Regeneration Corps themes is designed to be integrated into class curriculums or independent studies and includes field trips to local farms.
3. Flexible Pathways Personalized Learning Program: In this robust Regeneration Corps program, students will regularly participate in on-farm learning days, engage with Regeneration Corps themes, and have the opportunity to pursue skills or subjects of interest as an independent study. Regeneration Corps partners will work with students and school mentors to design a learning plan that will align with the students’ goals, interests, and graduation requirements, as well as support them through the learning process.
Please fill in the questionnaire to give more information about your project site and the types of experiences you may be able to offer.
