Looking Forward: Youth Leading the Way Toward a Sustainable Planet

(Click here to download the Report.)

We are pleased to release our report “Looking Forward: Youth Leading the Way Toward a Sustainable Planet”, which captures lessons learned from our grantmaking intiative, ReGeneraions: Youth Leadership Expansion for Environmental Justice (ReGen/EJ). Through ReGen/EJ, a three-year grantmaking initiative that supported grassroots and youth-led efforts in environmental justice, FCYO provided grants, technical assistance, and convening opportunities to a cohort of grantees. This report provides case studies in two key areas – climate justice and clean water – and highlights the multiple impacts ReGen/EJ made on individual young people, organizations, the environmental justice community, and mainstream environmentalism. FCYO is honored to have served the 11 organizations of the ReGen/EJ cohort and to serve the movement for environmental justice. We celebrate the victories and significant accomplishments within the environmental justice movement, and through this report, reflect on the significant contributions and leadership that have come from young people.
