Metro Council approves Bloomberg youth climate grant for Cumberland River Compact program
RS2026-2295 backs a Neighborhood Youth Climate Captains program run with the Mayor's Office; the mayor signed it Oct. 7.
NASHVILLE - The Metropolitan Council on Oct. 6 approved a Bloomberg Philanthropies grant to the nonprofit Cumberland River Compact for a new Neighborhood Youth Climate Captains program, according to Metro's Legistar record for resolution RS2026-2295.
The money comes from Bloomberg's Youth Climate Action Fund. The resolution says the Compact will run the program together with Metro government through the Office of the Mayor, and that the program will give Nashville youth a way to make a tangible impact on the city.
The Budget and Finance Committee and the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee approved it on Oct. 5, and the Legistar history shows the mayor approved it on Oct. 7. Jason Spain and Quin Evans-Segall are listed first among the resolution's 10 sponsors.
The resolution title and the Legistar record do not give the grant amount, a start date, or how many young people will take part.
