Yarra City Council is excited to launch Youth Climate Action Fund Grants this August, giving young people aged 15-24 the chance to turn bold climate ideas into local climate action projects.
Supported by Bloomberg Philanthropies' global Youth Climate Action Fund, this initiative is part of an international effort empowering young people aged around 15–24 to design and deliver solutions to local climate challenges. Across more than 300 cities worldwide, young people have already led projects like creating green spaces, running education campaigns, improving waste systems and building community resilience.
In Yarra, grants of $1,500 to $7,000 will be available to support youth-led projects that make a positive impact locally. We're inviting young people, community groups and organisations to start thinking about ideas now.
Whether it's tackling waste, boosting urban nature, raising climate awareness, or strengthening community resilience, we want to hear your creative solutions.
This is your chance to shape Yarra's climate future—by young people, for the community.
Applications open on Monday 10 August 2026.
