Applications are now open for the 2024 HEY Global Climate Fund
Overview
The Healthy and Environment-friendly Youth (HEY) Campaign, powered by the Ashley Lashley Foundation, united global youth activists to take action on climate change and health. The campaign was created in close collaboration with UNICEF and seeks to build bridges between youth in the Caribbean and around the world.
Its vision is to create a generation of young people committed to adopting lifestyles that are both healthy and environmentally friendly. The HEY Campaign’s agenda is therefore to create a movement bringing all our youth and children together in their diversity, to promote and advocate for these shared values.
