At Free The Children, we’re in the business of changing the world. Our programming in North America—which is focused primarily on youth with a strong emphasis on educators, families and the corporate world—is built on three guiding principles: Educate, Engage, Empower. Together, these principles work to change attitudes and priorities here in North America, so we can then reach out to our friends across the globe.
Individually, each of our programs and initiatives work to educate, engage and empower youth and adults alike in unique ways. But together, those components create a holistic learning and action-based experience for all who wish to embark on a journey to social change.
We reach youth and adults through one-of-a-kind learning experiences and opportunities to make them more aware of global issues.

Equipping youth with the tools and issues-based learning they need to be young global change-makers and lifelong active citizens.

Empowering youth to take action as they raise awareness and funds for global and social justice issues.

This school-based joint project with Oprah’s Angel Network connects young people in North America with people around the world to create lasting change by working toward the UN Millennium Development Goals.

The We Schools in Action program inspires a generation to care about social justice with the energy and message We Day, and then provides the practical tools needed to turn that inspiration into tangible action throughout the year.
