What we're all about
Do Something believes you have the power to make a difference. It is our aim to inspire, support and celebrate a generation of doers: people who see the need to do something, believe in their ability to get it done, and then take action. At DoSomething.org we provide the tools and resources for you to convert your ideas and energy into positive action. Be part of a generation of doers.
Five guidelines we live by:
- Believe in teenagers. Teenagers can lead today. We don't require adults.
- Trust teenagers. We provide reliable, easy to access information and activation strategies, but teens decide for themselves what to do.
- Celebrate teenagers. We think all measurable contributions from teens are valuable.
- Respect teenagers. We understand that teenagers have diverse abilities and constraints.
- Value teenagers. Our programs and products are free. We're not after teens' money; we want their passion, time and creativity.
If you're not a teen, you are Old People
Advocate your way. What's your thing?
Get off your sofa and Act Now!
In the name of all things youthful, honest and good, I love the title of this organization. What don't you get? DO SOMETHING!!! Nothing politically correct, culturally sensitive, nothing to balance out except if you want to change something, ACT NOW! In the words of Ghandi, "Be the change you want to see in the world." Are we Old People going to wait for the do something generation to get to it or are we going to own up to our own sins of the past and clean it up? The choice is yours.
If you are 18+ you can vote: with your ballots, your dollars, the words you speak, the businesses you frequent, the jobs you hold, the values you communicate to your kids, friends and neighbors. Or sit there and do nothing, cuz the next guy will handle it. Unless you're the next guy we were waiting for. My greatest fear for the Presidential Election is that everyone who wants change will forget to vote. Please vote, then rant! Comment here!
