We're no longer accepting applications for this fund. This page provides a summary of the funding.
This fund aims to help young people (aged between 16 and 30) in Wales into green careers. By green careers, we mean careers that reduce carbon emissions, restore nature and help us adapt to our changing climate.
Examples of green careers could be anything from an administrative assistant for an environmental consultant, to a cook at a zero-waste café, or a trainee engineer for a renewable energy company.
We’re funding projects that help young people:
- develop their confidence
- teach them new skills - this could include social and technical skills
- get work experience and placements which could lead to longer-term opportunities
We want to fund projects that focus on supporting young people with disabilities and/or young people from ethnically minoritised communities. Our aim is to encourage diversity in green careers by giving a helping hand to these underrepresented groups.
To get funding, you must want to work in a partnership. We can help you connect with other interested organisations.
