Uniting Humanity around the 17 Global Goals through Arts, Culture & Action.

“Outlets for Change” is a project-based learning journey that transforms classrooms into creative studios for changemaking. Students explore how personal growth (the Inner Development Goals) and global action (the UN SDGs) connect — discovering that change begins within, and radiates outward.

Each lesson uses music, storytelling, performance, and technology to guide students through five creative action steps. The program supports schools to meet global citizenship and social-emotional learning standards while inspiring real-world community impact.

A living network for innovation, investment and co-creation aligned with the 17 SDGs.

At the heart of our work is the Green Fund, which channels $5–25 from every Battery Tour concert ticket directly into vetted nonprofits advancing solutions to climate, justice, and community resilience. Each recipient develops a clear plan for impact, with outcomes tracked and shared transparently.

What makes Project 17 distinctive is our Concert–Conference–Impact model. Each performance is paired with a companion convening where local leaders, organizations, and audiences come together to spotlight SDG solutions and build lasting networks. This model transforms culture into infrastructure: music powers the movement, gatherings foster collaboration, and pooled resources flow directly into community-led action. More than a concert series, Project 17 is a cultural engine and funding platform. It is designed to disrupt extractive systems, uplift grassroots leadership, and accelerate solutions for people and the planet. By uniting art, culture, and direct investment, Project 17 makes sustainability a movement everyone can join.
