DoSomething
Levi’s® jeans and Do Something have joined forces to offer twenty-five $500 grants to help YOU start a Do Something club at your school and turn your ideas for a better community into action! It can be stopping violence in schools, ending racism, preventing drunk driving or protecting the environment. Whatever the cause – that’s up to you. So stand up, speak out and Do Something! 

What is Do Something? 
             Do Something is a nationwide network of young people who are taking action to change the world around them. As part of a Do Something club at your school, you and your friends identify the issues YOU care about and design community projects to turn your ideas into action. Do Something provides resources and  support to help YOU make it happen!
