Episode Details

Lincoln’s rolling out a big new climate push — a $50,000 fund for teens and young adults aged 15 to 24 to launch real sustainability projects in their own neighborhoods. Backed by Bloomberg Philanthropies and part of a nationwide network of 300 cities, this Youth Climate Action Fund offers grants from $1K to $5K for ideas in four key areas: climate resilience, local food systems, waste reduction, and green transportation. City officials say it’s about empowering youth to lead change where they live. Applications open August 26 and close October 7, with winners announced in early November and projects due by April 2027 — culminating in a public showcase on Earth Day. If you’re under 25 and have a plan to make Lincoln greener, this is your moment to get funded and make an impact.
