The DoSomethig.org was founded in 1993 in the United
States of America.
In 2010 arrived in Portugal.
The Do Something is a project that promotes civic participation and entrepreneurship in young Portuguese through new technologies.
With the Do Something we can create a club with a group of friends to do projects on the causes that most concerns us. Do Something Clubs are an opportunity to take the lead and improve our community. The Do Something gives us ideas and resources, but we are the one who decides which projects that the Club does. We also propose our own individual projects and receive funding to launch them through the financing Do Something.
In the Do Something website we can find tips for action that we can put into practice alone or with friends. We can also find on the site several volunteer opportunities close to us, promoted by associations and by the Do Something.
Since its launch the Do Something has mobilized young people from North to South!
Since 2010 there are 26 clubs that have already created Do Something, involving more than 400 students, 50 projects on the ground, with 2,012 young people involved and affected 61,000 people, 90 registered organizations (more than 50 volunteer opportunities), 1600 young people registered on the site with 45,000 visits (since August) and an average of 147 daily visits, the Summer Tour was present in nine locations from north to south of 1,200 young people representing about 500 volunteer hours.
When you visit the Do Something immediately are invaded by a willingness to help, just choose a cause that interests us, as: Health and Sport, Eating Disorders, Racism, Poverty, Environment, Arts and Culture, Human Rights, Education, Peace and Citizenship, (etc.) just a few minutes to read all the information the site gives us, and we are ready to help anyone. After being fully informed, when we noticed for ourselves, we are helping someone in our day to day.
I think that we
should all follow the indications of the Do Something:In 2010 arrived in Portugal.
