Proudly Supported By
Major funding for Teens Off Your Screens™ has been provided by the Irene W. & Guy L. Anderson Children's Foundation. Their generous investment is helping launch this innovative Digital Wellness & Youth Leadership Program and expand opportunities for students throughout our communities.
Today's Youth Face a New Challenge
Technology has transformed how young people learn, communicate, and connect—but excessive screen time can also affect relationships, confidence, attention, sleep, physical activity, and emotional well-being.
Teens Off Your Screens™ helps students develop a healthier, more balanced relationship with technology while building leadership, communication, resilience, and meaningful real-world connections.
Rather than telling students to stop using technology, we teach them how to use it intentionally and responsibly.
Your Mind. Your Screen. Your Impact.
Screens are part of everyday life, but how we use them matters. Teens Off Your Screens™ empowers young people to build healthier digital habits, strengthen real-world connections, and become more intentional about where they put their time and attention.
REAL CHANGE. REAL IMPACT.
Independent evaluation of the Teens Off Your Screens™ pilot found meaningful changes in students’ screen habits, well-being, confidence, and social connection.
Students reporting 8+ hours of daily screen time decreased from 36% before the program to 8% after the program.
75% of students reported improvement in sleep or sleep quality.
58% of students reported improved mood or confidence.
At the end of the program, 92% of students felt connected to others.
Evaluation conducted by HARC. Findings based on 28 pre-program surveys and 24 post-program surveys.
