We’ve received requests for international expansion from all continents – well, we’re still waiting on Antarctica – but we’re ready to make it possible for you to start a Do Something in your country.
Do Something believes teenagers everywhere can improve their communities. We leverage communications technologies to enable teens to convert their ideas and energy into action. It is our aim to inspire, empower and celebrate a generation doers: teenagers who recognize the need to do something, believe in their ability to get it done, and then take action.
