Details

Re_Generation aims to re_imagine our schools, re_purpose our careers, and re_model our companies to be aligned with regenerative principles. We created Canada’s largest platform to empower youth in sustainability and social impact.

Our website has Canada's largest centralized resource for young people who want to start a career in sustainability & social impact. It includes a self-assessment guide, 60+ career path interviews with industry leaders, 10+ sectoral guides to understand the key trends and opportunities of various sectors & industries, and a job board page that includes the most extensive mapping of places to get an internship in social impact & sustainability.

Policy research for youth organizations, who are under-represented in this space, will be a key lever towards advancing the ambition of Canada’s regulatory and investing landscape.

Canada's largest youth-run organization dedicated to advancing sustainable business practices!

Re_Generation is a Canadian youth movement that seeks to build a regenerative, sustainable, and just economy. We created Canada’s largest platform to empower youth in sustainability and social impact.

- We aim to re_imagine our schools, re_purpose our careers, and re_model our companies to be aligned with regenerative principles.
- We provide resources for young individuals (18-30) to launch impact-driven careers and advocate for change within their schools and companies.
- We also aim to advance public policies that promote regenerative and sustainable business practices.

After three years of existence as the Canadian Business Youth Council for Sustainable Development, we have changed our name to Re_Generation to become more inclusive of all youth, not just business youth. We now have a team of 11 full-time paid staff.
