Welcome to
About the WE movement
WE makes doing good, doable
We empower change with
resources that create
sustainable impact. We do
this through domestic
programs like WE Schools
and internationally through
WE Villages. The unique
partnership with ME to WE,
a social enterprise, ensures
that WE Charity achieves a
remarkable rate of financial
efficiency, with 90 percent of
donations going directly to
youth-serving programs
We create socially conscious
products and experiences that
allow people to do good
through their everyday
choices. Half of all ME to WE
profits are donated to support
WE Charity, while the other
half is reinvested to grow the
mission of the social
enterprise
We celebrate every day
change-makers with inspiring
stadium-sized life-changing
events around the world.
23 years ago, 12-year-old Craig Kielburger started a youth-
led, grassroots initiative. Today, WE is a global movement
that empowers people to change the world.
It all started in 1999 when Oprah had Craig Kielburger on her television show when she decided to
support the WE movement (then Free the Children.) In collaboration with the Angel Network, we have
built and outfitted 59 schools in 12 different countries
Together, Oprah and WE started “O Ambassadors,”
a school based program for students in North
America. Over 1.1 million dollars has been donated
to development initiatives around the world.
