Doing it for Me offers audiences the opportunity to empathize and engage with the complicated circumstances that lead young people to drop out. Across the 2011-2012 school year, only 61 percent of the city's young people graduated high school within four years and 1,953 youth left school without indicating if they were enrolling in another program. One in 10 DC youth aged 16-24 is not in school and unemployed. Jessica, Victoria and Precious' journey to better their lives, their education, and their friendship is an inspiring story that offers hope in the power of education, art and storytelling to change lives.
