Old People
Old people are cool, but this site is really meant to empower teens.
Do Something believes teenagers have the power to make a difference. We leverage communications technologies to enable teens to convert their ideas and energy into positive action. We inspire, empower and celebrate a generation of doers: teenagers who recognize the need to do something, believe in their ability to get it done, and then take action.
More stuff like this is in our "About Us" section.

Thanks for the message. I am looking at the site as a teacher to see how it works and what it is all about so I can possibly incorporate it in a lesson plan and introduce it to young people.
Thank you so much for existing! You give kids a way to create and find projects that THEY can own!
Peace,

I joined this site not realizing that it was for young people, but that is great too. I have a teen and perhaps I can get him to join it. Would love to keep up with what is going on, but as an older person do not want to impose on the site or the kids so is there any way to unjoin? Just curious. It looks like a nifty site. Thanks
Hey I am an Old Dude, I was looking for ideas to help the people I work with, I signed up for an account with DoSomething...Sorry about that, I see it is for young people after surfing the sight! I like what it's about...Keep It Rolling...You can remove me if you want...if not this Ol Dude doesn't mind passing the info on , Keeping It Real..Mr. Gil
Hey I'm an old guy too. I got a little worried that my grandkids and grandkids of my friends were falling prey to the terrible roads we have to deal with every winter so even though I'm retired I started teaching one or two at a time how to handle the icy and snowpacked roads we have here. I did it for law enforcement as a job for 35 years, why not give the youngsters the same bennies free of charge. The local LEO's tell me I've done a good thing. When I signed up I didn't realize it was just for youngsters but, like Mr. Gil you can cast me out if you'd like. Just keep doing something good.
Sandra Crane I too am an "oldster". You may want to remove my project and name. If so OK and good luck with your projects.
i think the old people commenting here are really awesome. thanks for supporting us youngsters...rock on (i mean that literally to some of you in your chairs...)
Ha! I love these comments from my fellow 'oldsters'....I am 51 - not old by any stretch but I am to you teenagers! So happy to see you are doing this - taking up a cause - becoming involved in your country - taking a stand. Very cool. We 'old folk' still have lots of energy and vitality and now, more than ever, the money and time to give back...so lets all just carry on and partner with our new awesome president to make the changes in this country that we have all been visualizing could finally happen! By the way, I feel 25 and I'm betting most of my contemporaries feel the same way! Yeah, rock on! Nikki
