What is a Purpose Project?
In the Impact League we use the Global Goals (Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs) as our guiding principles for taking action and finding opportunities.
When you sign up, you’ll be asked to select one of the 17 Global Goals to play for. You will as a team use the season to develop a project around that Goal. If you're unsure which Goal to choose, you have the flexibility to change it later.
We encourage all teams to follow their passions
Whether it's planting a new forest, building a new bus stop, challenging friends to clean up a neighborhood, closing the pay gap at work, implementing menstrual cycle awareness initiatives, or promoting more sports in schools, the possibilities are endless. Find inspiration here.
