What is the Sustainable Development Challenge?

The Sustainable Development Challenge is a platform for Okanagan youth to work on the 17 United Nations’ Global Goals. Teams of youth pick a global goal and then create a project to work on bringing the goal closer to reality. A selection of top teams pitch live to judges and a public audience to compete for the funding needed to make their project a reality.

They are a set of 17 goals created by the United Nations and agreed to by world leaders. They clearly outline what our world needs to accomplish in the near future.

Our project may not have won, but our team put in an amazing effort and our pitch went well. We still received some funding to support our project as well as the opportunity to work with Impact Toolbox. Our team is grateful for the amazing experience and all the help we’ve received!
