Project Green Challenge

Take climate action alongside young global leaders each October.

Project Green Challenge runs from October 1 – 30. Find out more and sign up at projectgreenchallenge.com!

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.

Read about Climate Action Projects from past years below, as well as key information about the program.
