WE Day: A Global Platform for Youth Leadership
WE Day is more than an event, it is a movement.

The yearlong WE Schools program equips students with the tools, curriculum, and mentorship to tackle real-world issues ranging from poverty and clean water access to bullying, mental health awareness, and environmental activism. Students earn their way to WE Day by taking action, volunteering, and leading service projects throughout the year.
