Project Green Challenge

SIGN UP FOR PGC

PGC educates, empowers, and mobilizes high school, college, and graduate students on climate action, environmental and social justice, public health, and advocacy. This powerful and diverse call to action features 30 days of eco-themed challenges that transform lives, shift mindsets, harness ideas, and equip students with skills, knowledge, resources and mentorship to lead change on campus and in communities. Through individual and collective action, systems thinking, behavior change, and informed consumption, PGC participants are challenged to envision and work toward a healthy, just, resilient future.

At the end of the 30 days, up to 14 PGC Finalists are selected to attend the PGC Finals — outstanding young leaders from around the world chosen from the global pool of PGC participants based on points, depth and breadth of engagement, number of challenge wins, quality of work, a final exam, and video recap of their 30-day journey. Read about exemplary next generation changemakers and dive into last year’s Finalists’ Climate Action Projects (CAPs)!

LEARN, DO, CONNECT AND WIN, AS WE CHANGE LIVES AND THE WORLD.

The PGC Finals takes place in San Francisco, California each November — a transformational, all-expenses-paid eco summit that brings together like-minded peers with an esteemed group of eco leaders, speakers, mentors, ambassadors and partners to support, equip and propel Finalists with the tools, resources and know-how to rise as leaders. Finalists present their 30-day journeys and develop frameworks for CAPs. From December to April, Finalists work with Turning Green and teams of mentors to implement CAPs before presenting virtually in April, when the PGC Champion receives a $5,000 Acure Green Award.

Since launching in 2011, Project Green Challenge has built a movement of powerful young leaders, engaging over 335,500 students directly and tens of millions indirectly. Sign up today!
