Join the Surge! Air your video on VH1!

DoSomething.org is a thriving platform for youth 25 and younger who are changing their communities locally and globally, but it’s a non-profit that has awarded major grant money to members of the She’s the First network! Last year, Maggie Doyne, representing Nepal (shesthefirst.org) with her Kopila Valley Children’s Home, won the coveted $100,000 DoSomething Award to build her school…which opened this month!

This year, Jessica Posner, founder of the Kibera School for Girls and the Shining Hope Community Center — representing Kenya in the She’s the First directory — won $10,000 as one of the five finalists for the DoSomething Award — she may win $100,000 too on July 19 when the Awards air on VH1!

Now, with Clean & Clear and singer-actress Demi Lovato, DoSomething.org has a new challenge called “Join the Surge.” In 60 seconds, YOU can be a part of it AND represent She’s the First!

Here’s what to do: Record a 60-second video on how you are making a difference, such as by sponsoring a girl in the She’s the First network. Or, if you didn’t fundraise for a sponsorship, maybe you mentored girls in you community offline, and raised awareness about girls around the world online. Maybe you traveled to another country and volunteered to help impoverished families and their daughters. The possibilities are endless!

Submit the video here between now and September 15. The first 1,000 entries receive a free bracelet! The winner will fly into NYC to watch Demi perform live in concert, and more importantly, the video will air on VH1, bringing so much visibility to She’s the First and the power of girls’ education worldwide!
