Real support. Real community. Less doomscrolling.
Screen time isn’t just a personal habit—it’s a youth wellbeing issue shaped by design, culture, schools, and families. Screentime for Youth (STFY) exists to turn concern into action: practical tools, peer-led community, and research-informed guidance that helps students and families feel more in control.
Youth need practical support, not shame

01
Advisory Group
We’re building an Advisory Group to guide STFY’s programs, research-informed content, and partnerships. If you’re an industry leader, policymaker, researcher, or educator, your perspective can help ensure youth-facing interventions are ethical, practical, and scalable.
Why This Work Matters
Research shows that adolescent screen habits are tied to sleep, mood, and family relationships — but also that meaningful improvement is possible when students, families, schools, and advisors work together over time.
Families matter, not just individual willpower
02
Student Leader
STFY chapters are student-led communities that make screen-time support real—not just awareness. Whether you want to run a workshop, host a discussion circle, or launch a “phone-free hangout” series, we’ll help you build something sustainable.
Sustained programs work better than single talks
03
Families and Educators
Parents and educators are on the front lines, and you’ve seen what advice helps—and what doesn’t. We’re collecting real stories to improve our resources and to reflect the full range of experiences: stress, conflict, breakthroughs, and everything in between.
