Join the Movement
A social media challenge for everyone to take action on the UN Sustainable Development Goals
A global movement for everyone to create change
The #17by17challenge is a social media movement that encourages everyone to take action on the UN Sustainable Development Goals. You don't need to complete all 17 goals to participate - just take action towards at least one UNSDG and share your journey!
If you're under 17, you can set your own "17 by seventeen" goal to take actions for all 17 goals before you turn 17, just like the founder Grace Totten. But remember, the challenge is open to everyone regardless of age - every action counts!
By working together and sharing our progress, we can inspire others and make real impact in our communities.
