Carmel Green Teen Micro-Grant Program

In 2009, the makers of Green Works natural cleaners created the Green Heroes program to identify and fund five eco-friendly community projects across the country.  Through this program, the local youth group Carmel Area Roots & Shoots was awarded $10,000 to fund its eco-friendly project called the Carmel Green Teen Micro-Grant Program.

The $10,000 will fund many youth-driven green projects to help make Carmel / Clay Township a greener community.  Micro-Grants will be reviewed by a committee of teens from Carmel Area Roots & Shoots and adults from Carmel Green Initiative, and will be available until monies are exhausted.  United Way of Central Indiana’s Youth as Resources staff will provide organizational support.  Youth are encouraged to apply early to assure funding.
