Do Something

DoSomething.org is one of the largest organizations in the U.S. that helps young people rock causes they care about. A driving force in creating a culture of volunteerism, DoSomething.org is on track to activate two million young people in 2011. By leveraging the web, television, mobile, and pop culture, DoSomething.org inspires, empowers and celebrates a generation of doers: young people (25 and under) who recognize the need to do something, believe in their ability to get it done, and then take action.

Highlights:

Find out what's on our minds and what's going on behind the scenes by checking out our DoSomething.org blog. or taking a peek at our Culture Book.

We:

1. Believe in young people. Young people have the power to lead. We don't require old people!
2. Trust young people. We provide reliable, easy-to-access information and activation strategies, but young people decide for themselves what to do.
3. Celebrate young people. We think all measurable contributions from young people are valuable.
4. Respect young people. We understand that young people have diverse abilities and constraints.
5. Value young people. Our programs and products are free. We're not after young people's money; we want their passion, time, and creativity.
