Our Mission
Join us to create opportunities for our young people to come together in real life and practice how to build and maintain community without their devices. Members of this group are invited to bring their children to a neighborhood park (communicated via email) for a parent-free, smartphone- and tablet-free hangout every Friday at 4:30PM. Smart watches, “dumb phones,” and walkie-talkies are welcome for communication with parents/guardians. If you know other parents in our area looking to establish healthy, screen-free time for their kids, please invite them to join our group! Once we get things rolling, we’d love to establish a monthly families hangout at the same location or another. We welcome suggestions on how to strengthen our commitment to community and real-world relationships! Culture takes time to change, but if nothing changes, nothing changes. Together, we can stem the tide of smart phone addiction and show tech corporations that our children do not exist for their profit!

MORE SUMMER, LESS BUMMER
Many of us look forward to summer all year. And we know for certain that our kids do! The average “School’s Out Summer” is 99 days. 14 weeks. About 1,500 waking hours to enjoy the season we’ve been waiting for since the last one. But - wouldn’t it be a TOTAL BUMMER if we missed out on 1-2 weeks of that precious summer sunshine? Or worse…a full MONTH of summer, gone? That’s exactly what scrolling costs us at 1hr/day, 3hrs/day and 7.5hrs/day (avg teen scroll time). And that’s why, this summer, The Balance Project is asking the families in our 300 communities (and beyond!) to reclaim the small, real-life moments that add up to a life fully lived. Not by going off-grid. Not by “detoxing.” By being where we actually are. Let’s not let this season slip by. This summer, we want MORE SUMMER. LESS BUMMER.
