A Community of Turning Life On
Concord, MA

Our Mission

Turning Life On’s mission is to transform societal norms surrounding smart devices, social media and technology usage by supporting, empowering and uniting parents, local ambassadors, school leaders, and leading professionals across Massachusetts and beyond. Through its ongoing commitment to understanding local needs, Turning Life On will empower communities by providing ambassadors with the tools and guidance necessary to sustain a grassroots movement. Regular meetings will connect ambassadors, allowing them to share best practices, build relationships, and offer mutual support. By building strong relationships and partnerships with leading professionals in multiple fields, Turning Life On will be poised to co-create resources and refer these professionals to local ambassadors and communities. These connections will support local events and the sharing of information, and have the potential to significantly raise awareness and impact change. Turning Life On will also continually work to expand its base of annual philanthropic support and award grants to communities, enabling them to fund initiatives.

Mattering in a High-Pressure World: Helping Youth Thrive Beyond Achievement Culture

September 30, 2026
6:00 PM EDT - 7:30 PM EDT
This event is for parents and youth of all ages. In many high-performing communities, young people absorb a powerful—and often unintentional—message: that their worth is tied to grades, accolades, and productivity. The result is rising rates of anxiety, burnout, and disconnection, even among kids who are doing everything “right.” This event introduces the concept of mattering—the idea that young people thrive when they feel seen, valued, and connected, not just evaluated. Speaker Stephanie Malia Krauss is an educator and author of How We Thrive: Caring for Kids and Ourselves in a Changing World and Whole Child, Whole Life. Drawing on research and real-world experience, she offers parents, educators, and young people practical ways to push back against achievement culture and create conditions where youth—and the adults who support them—can truly flourish. Bring friends and family.
