ReGen Youth Summit

Washington, DC & Virtual Option Available | Opportunity to Continue as a ReGen Fellow

As America approaches its 250th anniversary, communities across the country face declining trust, rising polarization, misinformation, and lower civic participation. At the same time, a new generation is ready to lead.

The ReGen Youth Summit brings together young leaders ages 15–24 from across the United States and around the world for an immersive experience focused on rebuilding trust, strengthening civic life, and developing practical leadership skills for action.

Through interactive workshops, facilitated dialogue, collaborative projects, and conversations with experts and peers, participants will gain the knowledge, relationships, and tools needed to create meaningful change in their schools, organizations, and communities.

The ReGen Youth Summit is more than an event—it's the beginning of a leadership journey. Participants have the opportunity to continue their experience as ReGen Fellows ("ReGenerators"), joining a year-round network of young leaders working to strengthen communities, restore trust, and lead positive change through local action projects. Fellows gain access to mentorship, leadership opportunities, resources, and small grants to support community-based initiatives.

• Rebuilding trust and strengthening civic participation
• Navigating media, misinformation, and artificial intelligence
• Bridging divides across communities and perspectives
• Advancing accountability and democratic engagement
• Promoting environmental stewardship and sustainable communities

More than a conference, ReGen equips participants with practical skills, meaningful relationships, and actionable plans they can immediately put into practice.

Participants leave with more than inspiration—they leave prepared to lead.

Join a community of young changemakers committed to restoring trust, strengthening civic life, and building a more resilient future.

Can't attend in person? Our robust virtual experience is available at half price and includes access to keynote speakers, collaborative projects, interactive workshops, and practical tools you can bring back to your community.
