DoSomething.org is the premiere organization for teens and social change. Interning at DoSomething.org is a great way to learn the ins and outs of the not-for-profit world, work in a fun and young office environment, and get great work experience. We give our interns tons of responsibility and are also known to have brownie bake-offs every once in awhile. Our office (complete with disco ball and Pac-Man machine) is located in Manhattan, NYC.
Rules we live by:
1. Believe in young people. Young people can lead today. We don’t require old people.
2. Trust young people. We provide reliable, easy to access information and activation strategies, but young people decide for themselves what to do.
3. Celebrate young people. We think all measurable contributions from young people are valuable.
4. Listen to young people. We must always respect their varied abilities and time constraints.
5. Value young people. Our programs and products are free. We’re not after young people’s money; we want their passion, time, and creativity.
