Doorstop Education is a nonprofit that helps students fix their schools. This is a free leadership program for high schoolers who want to change something:
You pick an issue: changing the curriculum, repairing broken bathrooms, improving mental health resources, a schoolwide policy, or something of your own.
We pair you with a mentor like Ben (Princeton ’24) who works with you every week, shares advice, and makes sure the project actually lands.
You leave your school better than you found it, and it’s a genuinely strong extracurricular if college applications are on your mind. Free, always.
One-minute form, then we schedule an intro call. Open to students at US public and charter high schools.
