What is WE DAY?
It was born out of a dream...

Now they run the organization Free The Children, and host We Day's all over Canada, the US and UK, a day inspiring a year of change. You can't buy a ticket to We Day you earn it by pledging to take on one local and one global project for the year. Projects I've been a part of are WE SCARE HUNGER and WE ARE SILENT. We Scare Hunger is coming up, on Halloween kids go out and ask for canned, non-parishable food items, instead of candy, and bring it to local food banks. We are Silent, is nation wide on April 19th. Students go silent in solidarity with those whose voices are not heard, child labourers, children who have no access to school, clean water, or healthcare, even for students in the school or community who are impoverished, bullied, or discriminated against.
We Day launches a year of action, a year of believing that one person can make a difference, and that WE ARE THE CHANGE. Youth is not wasted on the young, youth can and do make a difference.
