Free The Children empowers children in North America to take action to improve the lives of fellow children overseas. Our local leadership initiatives bring leadership and inspiration to tens of thousands of youth in the US and Canada. Our international projects, led by our adopt a village program, have brought over 500 schools and water projects to communities around the world.
The primary goals of the organization are to free children from poverty and explita-tion and free young people from the notion that they are powerless to affect positive change in the world. Through domestic empowerment programs and leadership training, Free The Children inspires young people to develop as socially conscious global citizens and become agents of change for their peers aroung the world. Free the Children has built more than 500 schools around theworld and has reached more than one million young people through outreach in North America.
