Formed: 1999 Established: 1999
Regenerative Co-op of Pomona
Pomona, California,
United States
 The Regenerative Co-op of Pomona, also called Regen, is an intentional community located in a quiet suburb east of Los Angeles. Founded by graduates of Cal Poly Pomona’s Center for Regenerative Studies in 1999, we strive to incorporate sustainable and regenerative principles in our urban/suburban environment.
The food in the co-op is vegetarian, although the co-op includes residents who are non-vegetarian away from home. Community meals occur five nights a week and always include a vegan option. We use solar power, maintain a gray water system, edible landscaping, and organic gardening. Community decisions use a consensus model in weekly community meetings.
We organize a Sustainability Seminar every February with workshops and speakers on topics from solar power to activism in the media (topics change each year). We host the local Food Not Bombs chapter every Sunday, which provides vegetarian meals to the local homeless. In addition we host various workshops of social and environmental interests throughout the year.
Currently we can accommodate up to twenty residents distributed between three homes. Some of us are very active in local peace and environmental activism; others have never been to a protest. We have had residents from as far away as Germany and as local as Orange County. We are organizers, teachers, technicians, students, business people, philosophers, artist, and many other things. We do have openings from time to time. If you are interested in applying, please contact us.
