American University, Washington, DC + Virtual Participation Worldwide

The future isn’t something we inherit. It’s something we build.

This July, young leaders ages 15–24 from across the United States and around the world will gather for the ReGen Youth Summit, a dynamic two-day experience designed to equip the next generation with the skills, relationships, and inspiration to strengthen communities and create lasting change.

Whether you join us in person at American University in Washington, DC, participate virtually from anywhere in the world, or combine both through our hybrid experience, you’ll be part of an inspiring global community committed to building a stronger future. Get your ticket here. 

Throughout the Summit, participants will engage with inspiring speakers, interactive workshops, youth-led discussions, and collaborative Action Labs exploring some of today’s most important challenges and opportunities, including:

  • Strengthening trust and civic participation
  • Bridging divides across communities and perspectives
  • Navigating media, misinformation, and AI
  • Advancing accountability and democratic engagement
  • Promoting environmental stewardship and regeneration

But ReGen is more than a conference.

Participants have the opportunity to continue their journey as ReGen Fellows (“ReGenerators”), joining an ongoing international network of young changemakers. Fellows receive mentorship, leadership opportunities, collaborative project support, practical resources, and access to future funding opportunities to help bring their ideas to life in their own communities.

Whether you’re passionate about democracy, environmental action, media literacy, community leadership, or simply making a positive difference, ReGen will connect you with the people, skills, and momentum to turn your ideas into action. Together, we are doing the WORK to restore and revive our communities and our world.

Flexible Ways to Participate

  • In Person (Washington, DC): Includes Summit meals, exclusive ReGen swag, networking, and the full on-campus experience.
  • Virtual: Join live from anywhere in the world and participate in keynote sessions, workshops, discussions, and Action Labs.

We believe cost should never be a barrier to participation. Scholarship-supported tickets are available for both virtual and in-person participants, helping make the Summit accessible to young leaders from every background.

Ready to help regenerate our communities—and our future? We’d love to have you join us.
