OUR MODEL
We’ve spent 30 years alongside young people at the front lines of social change, and we use what we’ve learned to help channel their passion into action. Through volunteer initiatives, trainings, leadership opportunities, events, campaigns, and programs, we help today’s young people learn about the issues shaping our world, and build the skills and confidence to take action, and make lasting change on the issues that matter most to them.
Finding Their Civic Spark
Doing something about today’s most pressing issues starts with young people discovering what lights their fire.
Flexing Their Civic Muscles
Our campaigns are designed to help young people use their skills and knowledge to take action on what matters most to them.
Inspiring Civic Leadership
DoSomething members can build their own initiatives to mobilize others to DoSomething in their community.
