I’m compelled to share how I’ve become inspired and what the
power of a great team can achieve! I’ve been hearing about a new youth inspired
movement for quite some time now, so I finally decided to educate myself on
what this phenomenon was! One search into Google and I stumbled
upon countless blog posts and videos that indeed showcased the phenomenon of
two sibling's dreams and their courage. Craig and Marc Kielburger, Canadian brothers and
co-founders of the non profit organization “Free the Children”, are a team
like no other, their devotion, commitment, communication, and collaboration
skills have led them to create a world changing movement. This duo started "We Day" 5 years ago in 2008, a movement that now not only raises over $5 million
dollars in donations but has over 160000 youth members involved! We day’s goal
is to unite today’s youth and demonstrate how they can make a difference by contributing locally and globally.
Today Craig and Marc continue to inspire this generation and are hosting the 5th annual We Day, what makes this day superior to other charity affairs, is that it is not solely a one day event, it is a year long series of events that gives back to society. This movement not only raises awareness, it calls upon youth to take immediate action! Craig and Marc’s passion and influence are highly contagious, iconic leaders such as Justin Trudeau, the Dalai Lama, Nelson Mandela and Lance Armstrong are just a few that have shared the podium with the brothers to encourage their growth towards social change. The duo have been working diligently with great discipline for over 15 years building contacts, relationships and their own team of people to carry out their vision. Their performance exemplifies extraordinary and effective teamwork and shows how the youth as a global team can undoubtedly change the world. Courage, discipline, commitment and desire for growth are key success factors for the Kielburger brothers!
