A Network of Young Changemakers
The ReGeneration project is a work in progress. It is a way to develop a new and very different way of learning: one that is up to the task of dealing with the very new and different set of challenges that young people face today. From the personal to the global - climate change, economic instability, radical population growth, peak oil, and massive income and resource inequity are changing the way we think and act in the world. These are complex and holistic problems. If we are to heal these problems, rather than simply trying to manage them, we need our young people to be thinking in complex and holistic ways.
The ReGeneration project was launched in February 2009 with the goal of helping young New Zealanders get connected: to each other, to mentors and collaborators, to their country and to special local places, and finally to a deep sense of individual and collective purpose. We do this through regular ReGeneration workshops, regional Youth Jams and our national Summer Jam event. At all our workshops we meet literally hundreds of amazing young New Zealanders who are looking for that illusive combination of support and challenge necessary to step into the adult world.

The ReGeneration Trust
ReGeneration is all about young people getting more active and empowered. One of the major obstacles to this happening is young people having access to positive experiences and skillful mentoring around governance and leadership. Many of the young people in our network have started thier own organisations or to have served as trustees on different boards. We actively promote the inclusion of young people in the governance of any organisation.
The ReGeneration Trust was formed in September 2010 to provide leadership and administration support for the ReGeneration project. The trust is the legal vehicle for running all the events, projects, workshops, trainings and other things that ReGeneration does currently. The trust can apply for funding and employ people to develop and implement new initiatives.The trustees are responsible for making sure that the organisation runs well and actually does what the trust deed says it will do. Our founding trustees are Amanda Judd (co-chair), Billy Matheson, Joshua Briggs (co-chair), Lani Evans, and Saksia Nieuwlands.
