I was drawn to DoSomething.org because of the mission: empowering young people to take social action. And with that, the people behind the mission. I was in a place where I had the luxury of choosing where to work and given that option, I wanted to work for an organization that was adding to the world in a positive way.

DS was run like a startup, so it honestly didn't feel that different. Our KPIs were organized around activating young people, and not 'revenue', so that was pretty cool. DS is also well-connected so we were able to pick the brains of a lot of smart people.
