Craig and Marc Kielburger have proven that anyone, at any age, can change the world.
Since 1995, they have spent time with some of the world’s poorest people in some of the most challenging circumstances—rural and underserved communities, war-torn countries, post-disaster relief emergencies and situations of medical crises. Of all these experiences, what has influenced them most is their time with exploited children. Children in the worst forms of child labour. Children who have never had the chance to go to school.
Craig and Marc are co-founders of Free The Children, an international charity and renowned educational partner that empowers youth to achieve their fullest potential as agents of change—a unique model that works both at home and abroad.
Overseas, Free The Children has built more than 650 schools and school rooms, providing education to more than 55,000 children every day. Over one million people have received clean water, health care and supplies, and more than 30,000.

Robert Genaille was not a big fan of teachers.
His mother would talk about the scars the Kamloops Indian Residential School had left on his grandfather, how he refused to teach her his native language because his own experiences made him fear it would get her hurt.
Living on his mother’s Stó:l? Nation reserve., Genaille was bussed to a public high school in nearby Hope, B.C. It was not a happy time.
