PROJECT DESCRIPTION/DESCRIPTION DU PROJET: 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. This is why we want to have enough strategic outreach to share these resources to impact as many people as possible and empower the next generation of leaders to shape the future they want to be part of.
Language and geographical accessibility in sustainability
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.).
Policy research on sustainable finance, tax justice, and climate policy
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.
Grant, Impact and Report Writing (Winter 2024)
The main goal for this project is to effectively manage and enhance the grant application process, ensure accurate and up-to-date grant information through research and database maintenance, compile comprehensive annual impact reports for Regenesis and partner organizations, and actively report and track the impacts of funded projects. Additionally, maintaining clear and timely communication with funders by providing essential event-related data and information is a crucial aspect of this role.
