PMI aims to lead with purpose by our dedication to making a difference around the world and to advocate for People, Planet, and Purpose. This year we’re calling upon our community of changemakers to pull together in service and contribute our collective skills in support of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to make an impact on the world around us. As a member of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), we are committed to supporting the UNGC and their mission to advocate for universal principles like human rights, labor, environment, education and anti-corruption.
As a for-purpose organization, PMI is dedicated to enabling changemakers around the world to elevate their impact on society. We believe that both protecting our planet and improving the lives of people around the world are essential for creating peace and prosperity. Hours for Impact supports the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the betterment of people’s lives and the planet, now and in the future.
Now we’re calling on our global community and setting a goal of our own: to pledge 100K hours to advance the SDGs in 2021. Join us to enable change around the world and help make peace and prosperity a reality!

Thanks for sharing Kimberly.
Hello Kimberley
In the post you say this is volunteer activity to give some hours to UN for their program, this is a good initiative.
So I went to pledge my hours but the form is asking me about my project. If there are already any existing projects, we can give our names. But looks like there is none to which we can give our hours to volunteer.
Maybe this activity will be handled at the chapter level & do chapters have been asked to give their projects?
Regards,
Maria
Hi Maria!
A lot of people have already made conscious choices to improve their communities or environments like carpooling or volunteering independently with organizations that matter to them. Those types of activities count toward this goal so if you're already doing something, feel free to put that in.
You may also want to contact your chapter to see if they have ongoing opportunities or even pitch an idea for a project that you can work on together.
Thank you for your support!
Lauren
