PROJECT GREEN CHALLENGE
Act on climate with young global leaders!
Project Green Challenge (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.
UNITE WITH STUDENTS GLOBALLY TO TAKE CLIMATE ACTION.
LEARN. DO. CONNECT. WIN.
LET’S CHANGE LIVES + HEAL THE PLANET.
The PGC Finals takes place in San Francisco, California each November — a transformational, all-expenses-paid climate summit that brings together outstanding PGC participants and like-minded peers with an esteemed group of speakers, mentors, ambassadors, and partners to support next gen leaders with the tools and resources to take climate action.

At the PGC Finals, Finalists present their 30-day journeys and develop frameworks for Climate Action Projects. 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 is named and wins the coveted $5,000 Acure Green Award.
Since launching in 2011, Project Green Challenge has built a movement of powerful student leaders, engaging over 335,500 students directly and tens of millions indirectly.
