Join us for our next Balance Project gathering as we move from ideas to action. After a great kickoff in June, we're organizing around our three focus areas — as interest-based task forces — so everyone can plug in where they feel most drawn, and we'd love your help shaping them. This meeting, we'll introduce all three and let folks find their lane: 🛝 Free Play — creating more time and space for free, screen-free play in our kids' days, through play clubs, meet-ups, and everyday independence. 🏛️ Intentional Tech (Ed Tech & School Policy) — advocating for balanced, age-appropriate technology in Virginia schools. 📱 Cell Phones — helping families delay smartphones and wait together, like the Wait Until 8th pledge. Come explore all three, settle into the one that excites you, or simply listen and learn — there's no commitment required, and you're welcome to move between groups as you go. Newcomers are always welcome.

Catch up with friends, eat pizza and popsicles, play games, and celebrate summer reading accomplishments! Bring proof of summer reading (analog or online) to enter to win the raffle prize. This is a device-free event. Please leave all phones and tablets at home or in your car.
