Justin Long is a celebrity we love, and he is proactively helping others this Christmas season with the organization DoSomething.org.

Recently Justin helped student Alexandra Capellini with a surprise visit. Capellini works with Teens for Jeans - a nationwide campaign sponsored by DoSomething.Org and Aeropostale. Since 2008, youth around the United States have donated more than a million pairs of jeans to clothe homeless teens. The 16-year-old has been helping others, and Justin wanted to recognize her efforts in front of her entire school.

Justin is also a huge advocate for the Teen for Jeans campaign, which helps homeless young people.
