“We’re incredibly excited that We365 has been named Official Honoree of The Webby Awards," said Craig Kielburger, co-founder of Free The Children. "In partnership with TELUS, Free The Children created We365 as an online platform where youth can engage in daily actions to better themselves, their community and their world. It's an incredible tool that enables young people to discover the causes they are passionate about, amplify their impact, and help shift the world from a focus on 'me' to a focus on 'we.’"
