On May 4, 2018 the Carmel Green Teen Micro-Grant Program awarded over $2400 to three youth groups in Carmel to fund their youth-led environmental sustainability projects. The event was held at Founders Park in Carmel, and each group was given a certificate and asked to summarize their project for the crowd.
The student group called Helping Ninjas, Inc, which includes students from the College Wood Elementary Green Team student club, received two grants.
The student members of Helping Ninjas will help restore Founders Park common areas with native Indiana plants.
The College Wood Elementary Helping Ninjas will be using one of their grants to promote and teach school composting and community gardening and the importance of pollinators.
The Orchard Park Elementary School Green Cubs received a $700 Carmel Green Teen grant to promote reusable shopping bags at their school.
Orchard Park Elementary students will be working on a project named, "This is NOT a Plastic Bag," which will involve educational announcements and contests.
