DOOL brings students and teachers together.
By amplifying the voices of those least heard within schools, DOOL fosters a more equitable experience in schools.
With youth at the center, students and educators co-create the sort of inclusive, connected communities that are at the heart of healthy societies.
One student shared, “I’ve changed during and after DOOL—I felt like I had no voice until I did this program. Now I know I can make an impact—and I had fun!”
While DOOL transforms students, it also supports educators as teachers and learners.
In post-surveys, 100% of educators who participated in the 2025 DOOL Institute agreed it “transformed their approach to teaching—empowering them to amplify youth voices and practice shared power in their classrooms.”
“DOOL has always been a powerful grounding force for me. It reminds me that young people are agents of change — and that there are other adults who want to make positive change happen as well.”
