The Canadian author, humanitarian and children's rights activist talked about the change that can come from pennies, partnerships and passion.
Kielburger also previewed some of the excitement that speakers such as former Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev will bring to the MTS Centre, which will be packed with 15,000 students Tuesday.
