You can make a difference!

Everyone welcome!

We are committed to maintaining an inclusive, diverse organization in which we prioritize elevating people representative of the majority population to up-front leadership roles.

Our work centers on the majority population of the Pajaro Valley - low income farmworker families predominantly of Mexican and Indigenous heritage, who speak Spanish, English, and/or several Indigenous languages.

Ongoing Volunteer Committees

ADVISORY BOARD

The all-volunteer Board maintains a minimum of two-thirds Black, Indigenous, or People of Color and two-thirds living or working in the Pajaro Valley. (The all-volunteer Board meets bimonthly, with other committee meetings and consultations arranged separately).

FRONTLINE ALLIES

Our Frontline Allies Affinity Group is made up of white or white-identifying people who meet monthly to interrupt and eliminate racism from our individual minds and end white domination in participants’ affiliated organizations, our work with Regeneracion, and the general community. Members commit to giving monthly or annually to Regeneración. (Meets monthly)

ADVOCACY COMMITTEE

The Advocacy Committee is made up of local volunteers that work to advocate for social, climate, and environmental justice in the Pajaro Valley. Committee members learn about local issues and advocate for equitable solutions by speaking at Watsonville City Council meetings, creating educational infographics, and hosting public learning sessions. We cover a wide range of topics like affordable housing, city spending, and indigenous land protection. (Meets weekly or bi-weekly.)

YOUNG ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ACTIVISTS

The monthly Young Environmental Justice Activists meetings are a safe space where young people- typically ages 30 and under- can come together and share any thoughts, feelings and experiences related to climate change and activism. There is no need to prepare anything beforehand. The goal is to provide a platform for like-minded activists to support each other and build community. ( Meets the second Monday of each month)

Special Gift to Regeneración!

We are honored to announce our first Legacy Gift, from the estate of Roger Boggs. His generosity will strengthen our organization as we work to expand programs as outlined in our strategic plan.

His family shared: "Roger was a chemist, and recognized the enormous problem we are facing. He was someone who always put others before himself. For these two reasons, he was happy to support the important work being done at Regeneración."

Please contact Nancy Faulstich, Director if you would like to discuss estate planning. Thank you for your consideration of a meaningful way to leave a lasting impact.
