PROJECT GREEN CHALLENGE

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.

CONGRATS TO THIS YEAR’S WINNERS!

PGC launches on October 1st and runs until October 30th each year. Every day, a unique challenge is unveiled at 6am PST. Each challenge is live for 24 hours, inviting participants to complete actions and upload content to acquire points and prizes. Deliverables include photos, videos, creative and written pieces that are uploaded on the PGC site, as well as shared across social platforms. Up to twenty prizes will be awarded daily based on outstanding content. At the end of the 30 days, up to 14 finalists are selected from global participants to attend the PGC Finals and compete for the grand prize.

UNITE WITH STUDENTS GLOBALLY TO TAKE CLIMATE ACTION.

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. Read about exemplary next generation changemakers from PGC and dive into the students’ inspiring Climate Action Projects!

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.
