Innovators, let’s talk about WE Schools, the unstoppable force in education. WE Schools is making waves and developing a new generation of compassionate leaders prepared to take on society’s most difficult problems, from empowering students to reforming communities.
Empowering Youth: The goal of our team at WE Schools is to enable youth to reach their full potential and change the world. Our objective? to provide them the drive, vision, expertise, self-assurance, and knowledge needed to tackle urgent problems on a local and international scale. Through the implementation of campaigns to eliminate bullying, raise money for clean water systems, or organize community clean-ups, kids learn that they have the ability to make a difference and form a lifelong dedication to civic participation, volunteerism, and philanthropy.
Measuring Impact: We walk the walk as well as talk the talk. In order to make sure we’re providing top-notch resources, we think it’s important to track the results of our initiatives. For this reason, we collaborate with top social impact advisors, Mission Measurement, to research, understand, and constantly enhance the ways in which WE Schools develop the next wave of altruistic leaders. And believe me when I say that the results speak for themselves: they have had a transformative impact on pupils in the UK and North America.
WE Schools by the Numbers: Let’s break it down. During the 2017–2018 school year, campaigns run by youth involved in WE Schools resulted in:
– $8.3 Million raised for social causes
– 10.8 Million pounds ($15.5 M in value) of food collected for local causes
– 12.7 Million hours volunteered for local and global causes
That’s not just numbers; that’s real impact, real change, and real difference-making.
Transforming Youth: The worst part is this: According to 81% of educators, students who attend WE Schools are more inclined to take action to better lives both at home and abroad. Youth at WE Schools perceive themselves as change agents seven times more frequently than their peers do, and 90% of teachers believe that students are becoming more leadership-oriented. That’s what I mean when I say empowerment!
Empowering Educators: Not only do kids gain, but teachers also gain authority. Because of their involvement with WE Schools, 78% of them feel more fulfilled in their careers, and 82% of them have been able to find leadership possibilities for their kids. Furthermore, 76% of educators claim that WE Schools have helped them create a welcoming and safe atmosphere. How about changing things both inside and outside of the classroom?
Preparing Young Leaders: The effects don’t end there. Because of their involvement with WE Schools, 73% of youth feel inspired to attend college, and 92% of young adult participants list WE Schools’ accomplishments on their resumes. Companies also adore it; 94% of them respond favorably to resumes that highlight involvement with WE Schools. Students who receive that kind of instruction are more likely to succeed in life.
In summary, WE Schools is a vibrant movement rather than merely a program. Its goals are to uplift young people, revitalize neighborhoods, and develop the next wave of leaders who will be able to have a significant impact on the globe at large. With your continued help, we’re not only having an impact—we’re building the groundwork for a day when leadership, action, and compassion will all come together to improve everyone’s quality of life. And this is just the start of our path to a more promising future.
