PGC FINALS
Our annual four-day summit empowers and mobilizes student leaders from around the world to take action with purpose, passion and to connect with like-minded peers.
Up to 14 Finalists will be selected to attend the PGC 2025 Finals, following the 30 days of PGC in October — outstanding young leaders 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.
The PGC Finals will be hosted in San Francisco, California November 20 – 23, 2025 — a transformational, all-expense-paid eco summit that brings together PGC Finalists with an esteemed group of speakers, mentors, ambassadors and partners to support, equip and propel them with the tools, resources and know-how to rise as leaders. Students share experiences, learnings, best practices and ideas while gaining skills, insight and perspective to further their activism.
Each Finalist presents about their PGC experience and Climate Action Project (CAP) to an audience, including a panel of judges. CAP seed funding is given in tiered awards. Finalists then continue to develop, build, refine and implement CAPs in partnership with a team of mentors from December through April, which they present virtually upon completion at the PGC Finals — Part 2 on April 18, 2026. On that day, judges name the PGC Champion and present the $5,000 Acure Green Award and grand prize package.
Stay tuned for this year’s announcement — and dive into our Climate Action Project database to read out exemplary next gen changemakers!
