DoSomething

DoSomething isn’t just a digital space — it’s a hub that provides resources, skills and agency to  get young people out into the world to connect, take action, and create community and belonging in their communities. Whether they are meeting up in  neighborhood parks or on city streets, young people are proving that when they come together, they can solve problems and strengthen humanity.

This fall, we are planning national efforts to mobilize over 12,000 youth leaders to roll up their sleeves at community clean-ups across the country. We’ve already hosted in community events in  San Diego to New York. But these events are about so much more than trash — they’re about giving young people a reason to gather, to care for one another, and to lead movements that ripple across their communities.

Your support will help us turn clean-ups into leadership pipelines, amplify youth voices through public service campaigns, and build a generation that sees itself not just as digital citizens, but as neighbors, problem-solvers, and community leaders.

By March 2026, we will:

✨ Mobilize 12,000 young people to take action where they live, building belonging and pride in caring for their communities.
✨ Collect 20,000+ pounds of trash — restoring parks, streets, and waterways so everyone can enjoy them.
✨ Create 3,000 youth-led PSAs that spread a culture of action and care far beyond a single event.

🎯 Fundraising Goal: $20,000 to Power 20,000 Pounds of Impact

We’re grateful to have a corporate donor covering the basics — but your support is what makes these events impactful. $1 = one pound of trash removed and one young person stepping up as a leader in their community.
