Local kids receive grants
Groups of Carmel teens received grants last week from the Carmel Green Teen Micro-Grant Program, which challenges area youth to use their skills, creativity and energy to make Carmel a greener community. The program was given a grant by the city, and a board of teens determined which environmentally-conscious projects developed by their peers would receive a portion of the funding.
