ABOUT
OUR MISSION
We fuel young people to change the world.
We’ve spent three decades learning, building, and growing alongside the generation that will make the world better, for themselves and for everyone in it. DoSomething has fueled 8 million young people to turn their passion into action since 1993. We’ve built one of the largest youth-centered movements for doing good.
If you’re 13-25, there’s a space for you at our table. Think of DoSomething as your coach, champion and connector. We help your generation learn, do and lead through each stage of your impact journey. Whether you’re just finding your voice or already a seasoned advocate, we’re here to help you take the next step.
OUR PRIORITIES
As a member-centered organization, our priorities reflect yours. We create campaigns and programs to address the issues that matter most to you. Our work is anchored in three things:
Climate & Sustainability
Promoting environmental resilience, just energy transitions and individual sustainability
Safety & Wellbeing
Facing the youth mental health crisis, promoting digital wellbeing and building safer communities
Equity & Justice
Deepening civic participation, fostering economic mobility, and advancing racial, gender and LGBTQIA+ equity
THE IMPACT
This is not just our story. This is your story. Our goal is to help you create a safer, kinder, and fairer world. We’ve spent three decades championing you, because when young people lead, the world changes. Together we’re making a difference:

members are 3 times more likely to volunteer or advocate for social issues
actions taken by DoSomething members since 2018
