About DoSomething.org
Believing in the power of young people to improve their communities, DoSomething.org, the New York based non-profit takes steps to inspire, empower, and celebrate a generation of young doers who can and will make a difference. DoSomething.org provides resources and opportunities for teens, including weekly grants and access to communications technologies to enable teens to convert their ideas and energy into action – and Birthright Earth is an example of such action.
About Birthright Earth
Birthright Earth, the New York based, youth run non-profit, believes it the birthright of every individual or generation to be able to enjoy and experience the beauties of nature in their time. The organization has grown around the conviction that a generation that destroys such beauties erodes the birthright not only of itself, but also of future generations.
Birthright Earth’s innovative response is to teach youth about the environment through firsthand experience. Birthright Earth selects applicants for 10-day, fully funded trips through the Amazon rainforest that include hiking, canoeing, field research and lectures by resident biologists. Our aim is to lead in the development of an active movement of young adults, passionate and dedicated to the conservation of crucial ecosystems, and actively working in support of steps to mitigate global warming and other man-induced environmental hazards.
In collaboration with DoSomething.org, we can better see it, understand it, love it, and save it.
