Summary

Twilio's WePledge program aims to empower individuals and company employees to build positive change globally by committing 1% of their personal time or resources to do good. The program has opened-sourced its platform, allowing others to join the movement. To accelerate its impact, Twilio is donating $1 million USD to global nonprofit organizations supporting children's welfare and leadership. This November, the WePledge community is highlighting the importance of investing in education for low-income children, which can help break intergenerational poverty and support economic stability. Volunteers are needed to support various organizations working to transform children's lives, including connecting low-income students with live academic support, creating access to better education, and providing career advice. By joining the WePledge movement, individuals can make a positive impact on children's lives around the world.
