ReGen was formed from a grassroots group of young Iron Rangers that want to promote the growth of a younger demographic in our area. Our mission is to attract and retain young adults on the Iron range by enhancing a vibrant cultural and economic landscape. We currently have a board of ten active board members, along with a passionate group of young participants from across the Iron Range that attend our events and are excited about the future of our organization.

​

Since our inception from focus group turned task force, ReGen has successfully held events ranging in attendance from 50-100+ people of all ages. This indicates a strong interest for the topics we are discussing such as demographic shifts on the Iron Range and how younger generations can get involved in our communities. We also started a successful mentorship program with Hibbing Community College to connect college students to careers and young members of the Iron Range business community.
