The City of Salem is one of 300 cities from around the globe joining Bloomberg Philanthropies’ Youth Climate Action Fund. As part of this program, the City will receive $50,000 to distribute as microgrants to fund youth-led climate initiatives benefiting the Salem community. From creating a bike bus program at your school, to mobilizing a tree planting event, to organizing a community garden revamp event, efforts stemming from the new Youth Climate Action Fund will advance critical community goals, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2035.
