Selena Gomez is ready for 2019 WE Day!
The Stars Dance singer will join Natalie Portman, host Neil Patrick Harris, Mahershala Ali, Chance the Rapper, Hailee Steinfeld and Meghan Trainor at 2019 WE Day California at The Forum on April 25 in Los Angeles.
The day, meant to celebrate youth leading lasting social change in America, promises to be filled with “unforgettable performances and motivational speeches,” including Joe Jonas, Bill Nye and Pentatonix with more to be announced soon.
“Every year, WE Day leaves me feeling inspired and hopeful. The youth have an incredible positive and passionate attitude for making real change in the world. I’m so proud to celebrate young people’s year of social change and to remind them that together, we are an unstoppable movement dedicated to a brighter and better tomorrow,” says Selena.
WE Day is connected to the free, yearlong program WE Schools. Designed to enhance a school or community’s existing social initiatives or spark new ones, WE Schools provides participants with curriculum, educational resources and action campaigns, encouraging students to further their curricular learning and develop life skills to succeed beyond the classroom.
The show, sponsored by The Allstate Foundation and Unilever and presenting partners Walgreens and Microsoft, will air August 9 on ABC at 8 p.m. ET.
