Join the movement putting teens at the center of distraction-free schools — nominate a teen leader or step up to lead events and phone free fun beyond the classroom.
New York is leading the way in youth-driven digital innovation with the New York State #HalfTheStory Teen Tech Council. This year-long initiative, in partnership with the Clinton Foundation, brings teens to the table to help implement the state's phone-free schools initiative and build a culture of digital wellness that extends beyond the classroom.
#HalfTheStory is the leading youth NGO on a mission to empower the next generation’s relationship with technology — making digital wellness accessible to every young person on the planet and putting teens at the center of the movement.

Throughout the year, teens will participate in monthly meetings, brainstorm phone-free implementation strategies, develop screen-free event campaigns, and work directly with schools.
