Marc and Craig Kielburger are socially-responsible business leaders, best-selling authors, and humanitarians. They are the Co-founders of the WE Organizations, which includes WE Charity, ME to WE Social Enterprise and WE Day.
WE Day is the Olympics for change-makers. The Academy Awards for real people who are making a difference. It fills stadiums around the globe. It’s live-streamed. It’s broadcast. WE Day is a powerful experience with world-renowned speakers and performers, mixed with real inspirational stories of change. Beginning as a single event in 2007, in Toronto, WE Day has evolved into a series of 22 stadium-sized events held across the United States, Canada, the UK and the Caribbean. This past year, over 250,000 students attended WE Day and left inspired to create change both locally and globally.
Their pioneering social enterprise model, ME to WE, sustains the work of their charitable mission with socially-conscious products purchased by millions of consumers. Their work has resulted in a holistic development model lifting more than one million people out of poverty.
