PROJECT GREEN CHALLENGE
Take climate action alongside young global leaders this October
PGC Finalists 2023
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.

PGC 2023 Finals
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 like-minded peers with an esteemed group of leaders, speakers, mentors, ambassadors, and partners to support next-generation leaders with the tools and resources to take climate action.
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.
