We believe:
- There's no greater risk than a student hardening to their own potential.
- Everyone deserves to have equal opportunities.
- Students are more engaged when they can follow their interests.
We want to:
- Inspire thousands of kids to redefine their future and pursue their passions.
- Reshape the scholarship market by opening high-quality programs to low-income students.
- Create accountability and awareness about the opportunity gap.
How it works
We find promising students with specific passions
Students learn about Wishbone from their teachers and apply online. Students must meet these criteria:
- Current high school student (grades 9 through 12)
- Living in New York City or the San Francisco Bay Area
- Low-income
- Passionate about a particular interest, such as music, science, leadership, or athletics
Students apply for a program that fits their needs
We have a network of high-quality, accredited programs for students to choose from, based on their interests and location. Each program is vetted for our students and their skill sets.
If a student applies and qualifies for a program, we invite them to complete a full application, including:
- Brief questions
- A personal essay
- Consent from a parent or guardian
- A written recommendation from a teacher, coach, or mentor
Every Wishbone student has an adult advocate. Along with their personal recommendation, we ask the student's teacher to help them through the application process and program experience.
We fundraise from a variety of sources
Support from Wishbone comes from foundations, corporations, and program providers — who often offer reduced tuition as well. Students can also receive funding directly through individual donors on our website.
We're able to help a growing number of students financially by matching them with different scholarship opportunities.
We share success stories to inspire others
Our students share updates about their experience with donors online and by email. After finishing their program, they return to classrooms more engaged — inspiring peers with a heightened sense of personal motivation and involvement in their education.

Who We Are
DoSomething.org is the country’s largest not-for-profit for young people and social change. We have 2.4 million members (and counting!) who kick ass on causes they care about. Bullying. Animal cruelty. Homelessness. Cancer. The list goes on. DoSomething.org spearheads national campaigns so 13- to 25-year-olds can make an impact - without ever needing money, an adult, or a car. Over 2.4 million people took action through DoSomething.org in 2012. Why? Because apathy sucks.
We:
- Believe in young people. Young people have the power to lead. We don't require old people!
- Trust young people. We provide reliable, easy-to-access information and activation strategies, but young people decide for themselves what to do.
- Celebrate young people. We think all measurable contributions from young people are valuable.
- Respect young people. We understand that young people have diverse abilities and constraints.
- Value young people. Our programs and products are free. We're not after young people's money; we want their passion, time, and creativity.
