Project scope
- What is the main goal for this project?
-
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.
It is crucial to ensure that our resources are made accessible to most of Canada's young people, regardless of where they live and the language they speak. One of the key barriers to many sustainability and career development tools in Canada is the language barrier. We want to ensure that our organization respects Canada's bilingualism while also reflecting an "inclusive" language use (gender neutrality, etc.).
- What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?
-
- Understand the challenges and solutions to reach them
- Help translate some of our resources to French to make them more accessible
- Ensure that our language throughout our website is "inclusive" (especially in French with gender neutrality, etc.)
- If you are interested, you can also help us create a strategy for outreach to francophone communities and young people

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.
