TO ADVOCATE AND PROMOTE SOCIAL LEADERSHIP, COMMUNITY ACTIVISM AND CITIZENSHIP.

DOSOMETHING.ORG IS THE LARGEST NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATION EXCLUSIVELY FOR YOUNG PEOPLE AND SOCIAL CHANGE. OUR DIGITAL PLATFORM IS ACTIVATING MILLIONS OF YOUNG PEOPLE TO CREATE OFFLINE AND ONLINE IMPACT IN EVERY U.S. AREA CODE AND IN 131 COUNTRIES.

EACH CAMPAIGN IS BASED ON IMPACT RESEARCH THAT IS VERIFIED BY ACADEMIC RESEARCH, A STRATEGIC PARTNER ORGANIZATION WITH CAUSE EXPERTISE, OR A REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE. THE UNIQUE NEEDS OF YOUNG PEOPLE THROUGHOUT 2020 DUE TO THE U.S. NATIONAL ELECTION AND THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC POSED A POWERFUL OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO DRIVE REAL CHANGE:- NEW STATE OF MIND. YOUNG AMERICANS ARE MORE STRESSED OUT THAN EVER, AND NEARLY HALF OF GEN Z SAYS THEY AREN'T DOING ENOUGH TO MANAGE STRESS. WITH COVID-19 AFFECTING OVER 52 MILLION STUDENTS IN THE U.S. AND MILLIONS MORE AROUND THE WORLD, IT'S UNSURPRISING TO SEE AN EVEN GREATER NEED FOR MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT AT THIS TIME. DOSOMETHING ANSWERED THE CALL WITH NEW STATE OF MIND, A MENTAL HEALTH CAMPAIGN WE DESIGNED TO SPECIFICALLY INVITE YOUNG PEOPLE TO SHARE TIPS FOR TO PRIORITIZE MENTAL HEALTH DURING COVID-19.

ALMOST 40% OF PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS IN THE UNITED STATES ARE UNDER 18. ONE ITEM THEY COMMONLY REQUEST IN HOMELESS SHELTERS IS A PAIR OF JEANS.
