Our purpose is to provide a learning movement supporting youth in gaining the hands-on skills necessary to transition from an extractive culture to one that is regenerative. The content of this collaboration supports student involvement and ongoing community connections in the following areas: 

• Just Transition 
• Regenerative Agriculture
• Racial Justice
• Climate Mitigation & Adaptation
• Community Organizing & Service-based Projects 
• Youth Engagement & Leadership
• Food & Land Sovereignty

This collaboration presents regenerative food systems as a key element of addressing climate change and socio-economic resilience. Our scholastic and organizational partners train participants in agricultural literacy, community organizing, social justice, and a broad spectrum of hands-on and place-based content. This is an opportunity for youth to earn credit and/or satisfy proficiency based learning requirements and further academic studies while building life skills and a regenerative future across the region. Desired Outcomes:

• Practical, regenerative land-based skills
• Agricultural and ecological literacy
• Social justice and community organizing skills
• Social and emotional learning and awareness
• Accessibility to this program for all youth in Vermont
• Development of personal skills and gifts
• Integrating racial and climate justice into curriculum
• Enriching lives and easing challenges of youth, teachers, and farmers during the pandemic
