Free The Children was founded on the understanding that by awakening the spirit of activism in young people, anything is possible - injustices can be stopped, our local and global communities can be transformed for the better, and hope for the future can be sustained.
Based on the belief that young people can create change, the We Day movement was born.
In 2007, youth from across North America came together for the first time at We Day to discover new passions, learn about the world around them and celebrate their successes.
Since then, We Day has become the movement of our time, inspiring thousands of youth and building a community of young people dedicated to social change.
On October 19, 2007 the inaugural We Day event was held in Toronto where Marc and Craig welcomed 8,000 youth to take part in this first monumental step towards change. From then onward, the We Day movement spread across Canada to Vancouver, Montreal, Waterloo Region and Winnipeg featuring some of the world's most ground breaking speakers and performers. This year, We Day Toronto will celebrate five years of social action.

We Day is not just a one day event—it is part of an unparalleled educational opportunity called the We Schools in Action program. Throughout the year-long program, young people turn their inspiration into tangible results by engaging in both local and global actions.
The We Schools in Action program has provided direct results for its participants and the community. Students take the messages of We Day back to their schools and mobilize their peers to take action, through existing initiatives or new ones that have been sparked from the event. Research has shown that school communities are transformed by positive changes in student behaviour and the knowledge that it’s cool to care.
 
Youth leading global change is the movement of our time. We Day is the manifestation of this movement.
