This committee builds community relations, engages volunteers, and coordinates outreach events. The committee helps community members and partner organizations learn about RegenAll and get inspired to take action on climate change.
The Lancaster Outreach Committee was formed in September 2022. Current members include:
As a founding member of RegenAll, Inc, Joyce believes all climate concerned citizens must join together to amplify and expand engagement in this critical work. Her deep commitment resides in her passionate belief that our planet and future generations are depending on us.

Ian Godinez is a teacher and campaign staffer who is passionate about connecting people to actionable solutions. This interest drew him to organizations such as Lancaster Against Pipelines, Lancaster Stands Up, Citizens’ Climate Lobby, The Sunrise Movement, and RegenAll while studying environmental policy at Franklin & Marshall College.

Clarissa Grunwald is a librarian at Elizabethtown College. In her free time she writes and plays viola, and is an active volunteer at ECHOS Winter Shelter. Clarissa loves Lancaster County and hopes to do her part to help it stay strong into the future.
In the early 70’s Melissa Snavely remembers the excitement of participating in the first recycling program in her community and the energy crisis causing long gas lines and huge heating bills. Finding little changed in what we have done to stop the harm to our environment, she joined Regenall’s Outreach Committee to help bring attention to the now, climate crisis! Recently retired and a first time grandmother, Melissa often reflects on the quote, “if not us, who. If not now, when?”
Ryan McCoy is a Lancaster County native who believes local action is indispensable in addressing climate change. In addition to helping RegenAll with outreach, he volunteers as a Land Steward for the Lancaster Conservancy and enjoys reading, writing, and the outdoors.
