“People like us do things like this.” Bootcamps are the perfect way to connect with other high school and college students who care as much as you do about impacting the election and improving the country. You’ll leave Bootcamp with a network of like-minded peers, they’ll become your best friends, and you’ll give amazing toasts at each other’s weddings (probably!).

2) Star power will be in the building.

The LA Bootcamp is headlined by activist and actress Skai Jackson! And the NYC Bootcamp features Breanne Butler (Founder of the Women’s March), Lane Murdock (DoSomething member and founder of the National School Walkout), Hailey Colborn (Miss Teen USA), and Naomi Wadler (the 11-year-old activist who stole the show at the March For Our Lives)!

3) Experts will show you exactly how to make your impact huge.

Learn how to use social media to drive voter registrations and civic engagement from the powerhouse behind DoSomething’s social media channels. Learn how to score an internship or career in social change from the brilliant minds at InternQueen. Learn how to run for office...from someone currently serving in office! Bootcamp offers a dozen different sessions -- the ones you attend are up to you!

4) Scholarships and swag bayBEEEE!

You’ll enter for the chance to win a $500 scholarship...just by registering and showing up. Seriously. And once you’re there, everyone gets a swag bag full of goods, along with $100 worth of materials to run a voter registration booth in your own school or community. LET’S. GO.
