Let’s reclaim childhood.
From the classroom to the kitchen table
We Believe
Childhood is being rewired by screen time, and kids deserve better.
Children flourish through hands-on play, imagination, and real-world relationships.
Schools exist to educate, not to serve the interests of tech companies.
We Advocate For
Phone-free schools, from bell to bell.
School policies that prioritize children’s well-being over Big Tech interests.
More free play, independence, and outdoor time for kids.
Why This Matters
For mobile phones and social media, both high and increasing addictive use were associated with 2-3x greater risk of suicidal behavior and suicidal ideation. Nearly 1 in 2 kids demonstrated “high addictive use” with mobile phones, 1 in 3 with social media, and over 40% with video games.
The average teen spends 4.8 hours on social media each day. That is nearly 35 hours per week — close to a full-time job.
OR Unplugged works closely with national and international organizations, thought leaders, experts, and specialists for continued mentorship, resources, and shared knowledge.
