The Team - Go Global

  Emily Payne
Emily Payne has been a passionate advocate for social justice since the age of 16 when she first became involved with our partner organization, Free The Children. She organized several campaigns at her school, including a Halloween for Hunger food drive and a 5K run that raised $6,000 to build a school in Kenya. Since then, she has led, and participated in, a variety of other projects promoting children’s rights, including a seven-day Vow of Silence and the GuluWalk for Children of Uganda. She volunteered with Free The Children for a year before becoming the B.C. Regional Network Coordinator in 2005. In this role, Emily organized and inspired over 5,000 young people in Free The Children initiatives across British Columbia.
