Student activist David Hogg is set to take a gap year before college in order to work on the US midterm elections and educate young voters.
Hogg, who survived the February shooting at MS Douglas High School where 17 people were killed, became one of the lead activists in the nationwide push for stricter gun control laws.
The 17-year-old has since helped spearhead the push for change after speaking at the March for Our Lives event in Washington, making numerous appearances on US television and even featuring on Time magazine's front cover.
Now the student activist appears to have made up his mind about what he will do following his final year of high school.
Hogg has been accepted at the University of California, Irvine, but "he will not be going to college this year because he's decided to take a year off and work on the midterm elections," his mother, Rebecca Boldrick, told CNN.
His mother said he wants to help young and new voters to participate in the midterm elections, which are held halfway through a president's four-year term and are generally considered a check on their performances.
"If you listen real close, you can hear the people in power shaking," Hogg said outside the US Capitol in Washington in March.
"We are going to make this [tighter gun laws] the voting issue," he said.
"We're going to take this to every election, to every state and every city."
“I say to politicians: get your resumes ready!”
Hogg's post-school life made headlines last month when Fox News host Laura Ingraham took to Twitter to mock the student after his college application was rejected by some universities, despite a high grade-point average.
Ingraham later apologised after Hogg called for his Twitter followers to pressure companies to stop advertising, which several did.
