============================================ - Mission:
- ---- Why We Exist --------------------------------------------------------------
Our website is a community where young people learn, listen, speak, vote, volunteer, ask, and take action to make the world a better place. Currently, only 23% of this generation actively volunteers. Our hope is to create a do something generation: a world where more than 51% of young people are involved with community action.

---- What We're All About -----------------------------------------------------
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.

---- Five Guidelines We Live By -----------------------------------------------
#1. Believe in teenagers. Teenagers can lead today. We don't require adults.
#2 Trust teenagers. We provide reliable, easy to access information and activation strategies, but teens decide for themselves what to do.
#3 Celebrate teenagers. We think all measurable contributions from teens are valuable.
#4 Respect teenagers. We understand that teenagers have diverse abilities and constraints.
#5 Value teenagers. Our programs and products are free. We're not after teens' money; we want their passion, time and creativity.
