WHAT WE DO

OUR MISSION

We fuel young people to change the world.

DoSomething was founded in 1993 with the vision that volunteerism could be as cool as sports. Since then, our commitment to fueling change has expanded far beyond making volunteerism cool—now, we’re leading a movement.

For over thirty years, we have been the leading hub for youth-centered activism and service. This is just the beginning of what we can accomplish together.
