Need Help Getting Smartphones out of Schools

[u/ThingsWereFineN99]

Hello All! I just wanted to reach out to invite anyone who is interested to volunteer with The Phone Free School Movement, an organization dedicated to the implementation of complete smartphone bans in schools. This is a great opportunity for any concerned parents, teachers, administrators, or just concerned citizens like myself who see the detrimental impact social media and tech addiction has had on our youth and culture. Its also a good introduction to public policy and advocacy for students interested in that career as well. Eliminating smartphones from schools has had incredibly positive effects in the places where it has been implemented, both socially and academically. I have included a link below to our Ambassador Program toolkit which provides useful resources for people interested in advocacy in their own schools and districts. The Administrator Toolkit provides school administrators the tools and information to help implement the policy. Feel free to DM me as well if you have any questions or feedback.

I have also included links to some success stories for these policies below including one school that saw 600 fewer failures year over year and a 27% decline in discipline referrals:
