This virtual information session held by the City of Miami on August 17, 2026, focused on the Youth Climate Action Fund, a grant program funded by Bloomberg Philanthropies with $40,000 to provide microgrants up to $5,000 for youth-led climate projects within the city. The session detailed eligibility criteria, project location requirements, timelines, and budget guidelines, emphasizing projects addressing flooding, extreme heat, and waste reduction. City officials and partner organizations explained the application process, budget categories, and the necessity of having a project sponsor to manage funds and administrative tasks.
