WHY NOW?
This fall, Roots Down and GreenHive are launching the Regenerative Youth Summit. A unique, bold experience designed to support the next generation of climate leaders. Amidst the challenges of the climate crisis, young people are looking to get involved, and there's a wealth of opportunity in the Atlanta Metro area. We want to keep the spark of environmental hope alive within the upcoming green workforce.
Oftentimes, a barrier to entry for regenerative careers is not knowing how to get started. Many who are entering the green space can find themselves indecisive, or uncertain about which steps they could and should take. This event provides an opportunity to see what’s available in the vibrant city of Atlanta, and foster connections between early-career professionals, peers, and current leaders in the field.
