Reflect

WHAT LESSONS WILL YOU CARRY FORWARD?

You’re almost at the finish line! PGC 2025 has been a month of exploration, discovery, and action. Over these weeks, your habits have shifted, perspectives expanded, and voices grown stronger. You’ve moved from awareness to advocacy: from individual change to collective impact.

❝
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.“

— Margaret Mead, Cultural Anthropologist

Transformation isn’t simple, but your stories show what bold changemaking can look like in just thirty days. Small choices became commitments. Research turned into action. Connections became community. What began as daily challenges has evolved into a way of living with purpose — your ideas now reaching friends, families, schools, and communities.

As this chapter closes, reflection becomes your superpower. Look back on how far you’ve come — the lessons, obstacles, and growth — and look ahead to the values and strengths that will carry your work forward. Reflection ensures this journey doesn’t end on Day 30; it continues in classrooms, careers, and communities.

The final days of PGC are your chance to tell that story. Sharing your experiences highlights leadership, creativity, and commitment, inspiring others to act. Together, you show how youth voices and collective action can shape a healthy, just, and resilient future.

Reflection isn’t the end: it’s fuel. With intention, purpose, and renewed energy, the momentum you’ve built can carry into a lifetime of action.

As the journey nears its close, keep both reflection and action alive. To remain eligible for the PGC 2025 Finals, Day 29 challenges (Green, Greener, and Greenest) must be submitted by October 30 at 6:00 a.m. PT, Day 29 Extra Credit and all Day 30 challenges by October 31 at 6:00 a.m. PT.
