Do Something: You Could Save a Life

The award-winning DoSomething.org mobilizes young people to volunteer for a wide variety of great causes.  Right now the organization's nationwide bone marrow registry drive targets the best potential donors: college students.
Thousands of cancer patients need bone manor transplants every year, but only 2 percent of the population has had their cheeks swabbed to join the national registry. --DoSomething.org 
This nonprofit inspires college students to set up their own bone marrow drives on university campuses around the U.S.

This barely scratches the surface Do Something's mission.  Animal welfare, disaster relief, fighting prejudice, health issues, poverty, or bullying.  Do Something has your cause.  The organization even gives away grants to people 25 and younger so that they can start up programs in their own communities.
