<p><span><strong>Get ready to be inspired and to inspire your students to do good.</strong></span></p>
<p>Invite your friends and families to join me and millions of Americans on August 17 to watch <strong><a href="https://www.we.org/">WE Day</a></strong> on ABC, a celebration of the transformative power of young people.</p>
<p>Microsoft is proud to support WE’s mission to empower youth to create a positive impact at home and around the world through service-learning. A supporter of the organization since 2013, we continue to help WE by equipping them with Microsoft technology that lets them bring the benefits of their programs to schools, families and youth around the world.</p>
<p>I am particularly excited about our work with WE to inspire students to make our world more inclusive through the <a href="https://www.we.org/we-schools/program/campaigns/we-are-one/"><strong>WE Are One Campaign</strong></a>. Today, thousands of youth are learning, creating and ideating on ways they can leverage technology to make their classrooms and communities more accessible and inclusive for all.</p>

<p>The WE Day Special features a great example of the WE Are One Campaign at work.</p>
<p>Johnny (featured above) is a glowing example of a student using technology for good. He built a social networking app for people with disabilities and their families, motivated and informed by his brother, Christian.</p>
<p>I invite our passionate education community to take part in the free <strong><a href="https://www.we.org/we-schools/">WE Schools program</a></strong>, including the <strong><a href="https://www.we.org/we-schools/program/campaigns/we-are-one/">WE Are One Campaign</a></strong>. Through service learning, students learn to take action on the issues that matter to them, while learning critical academic and life skills along the way.</p>
<p>The WE Day Special on ABC will inspire action through the stories of everyday Americans making extraordinary impact in their communities. And you can catch host John Stamos, alongside Selena Gomez, Jennifer Aniston, The Chainsmokers, Dierks Bentley, and WE co-founders Craig and Marc Kielburger on the WE Day stage as they celebrate youth and families committed to changing the world!</p>
