Craig Kielburger

Thought leader and social entrepreneur.

He has built teams of over 1000 full time staff and managed operations around the world, creating positive impacts for millions while empowering people to make the world a better place.

His remarkable journey started in 1995 at 12 years of age. Craig discovered the story of a boy his own age who was murdered after escaping child labor, which inspired Craig to create his first charitable organization “Free The Children”. As a teenage guest on the Oprah Winfrey show, Craig received a spontaneous pledge from Oprah to help build 100 schools. The gift was accompanied by millions in scale-up funding and the extraordinary opportunity to learn from Oprah’s mentorship.
