Action Tips: Take Action Around Education
Help Fight the Drop-Out Crisis
Send a word of encouragement to a struggling high school student. Even a small vote of confidence can go a long way.
Be an Advocate
Push your school system for the help you need to succeed. Ask to be challenged. Show everyone how successful you are.
Convene a Local Dropout Summit.
Highlight the needs facing students in your school by engaging local leaders in a discussion about the challenges young people face and the ways these problems can be addressed.
Support Great Teachers
Visit iloveschools.com and find a teacher that needs your new or used donations. You can even start a collection drive to get teachers supplies they need for their classrooms!
Ready, Set, Teach!
- Not ready to start a tutoring program or maybe your school already has one? Join a local program (look into your local YMCA or Boys & Girls club) and become a tutor for other kids.
- Think you have nothing to teach? If you know another language, you can tutor kids in immigrant communities. It takes two to three hours a week and you’ll feel awesome after.
Roll Camera
- Film a documentary about education issues in your area and use it to raise awareness about the problems.
- Screen education-related documentaries like “Say It Loud” the film created by Do Something Grant Winner Jordan Coleman.

we need to try helping out those who are thinking of such meanings of droping out or failing their grade levels.
yes we should and many wait until their senior year to do it i think they should be able to have more one on one if they are having trouble
we need to help those who can but they are not trying to get any further because they know already that they can copy from somebody else.
I grew up around alot of people that said they wasn't going to go to school and especially not college. Some that I knew were in high school on their 12th year and they dropped out. I understand what they might be going through but they need their education. We need to encourage them to keep pushing up. PUSH meaning perservere until something happens. Push until something happens. Life could be simple if they take a chance to listen and act.
Yes you are right... I would love to stop kids from droping out of school. It is very important to educate students on why staying in school,and finshing will benefit them in the long run.

I would like to help all those highschool students who wanna drop out of school because of background issues, also financial issues. Some of these kids think they are not gonna make it because no one in their families graduated or because they will not get the finances to go to college. We gotta make a difference in this generation!
I think the issues with our youth today begin from ages as young as 1 or 2 years old. The early we stop this, the best.
Am a freshman at A,philip Randolph and kids around me are thinkinq dropping out. I want to help them ,show them how that wont help them. Make this program interesting fun , so they could see how doing good in school and helping others feels and that you can have fun while doing this.
I agree, my one really good guy friend has seemed to completely give up on school, but he has an aspiration to be a music producer. It kills me to see him do so poorly in school. I know he can do better! Have any ideas on how to help me get him motivated with out being too cheesy?
