Our Theory of Change

Students in Control of Their Device Use

As social media becomes increasingly prevalent in our lives, our goal is to help students navigate the online world with intention. We’re passionate about tackling the impacts of social media use on mental health with a curriculum designed to promote meaningful, positive digital habits and behaviors.

Drawing on student-centered instructional strategies, our dedicated team has crafted a unique curriculum that seamlessly integrates social media literacy with youth well-being. We empower students to understand the interconnectedness of their online choices and their overall well-being, enabling them to manage their digital presence thoughtfully and make informed decisions.

We believe in a proactive approach to education and collaboration, which is why we offer interactive lessons and professional development for educators. As schools increasingly adopt digital tools, we remain adaptable, continuously evolving our approach to meet emerging challenges. By focusing on practical, research-based methods, we prepare students to navigate both online and real-world issues with confidence and empathy.

Join KindEd—Together, let’s make social media use very demure, very mindful.

Michael Richie, Principal

One of the highlights for me was seeing how engaged and enthusiastic my 8th graders were with the curriculum. By middle school, students receive a lot of SEL content on mental health and emotional regulation, which can become repetitive. The social media lessons, however, felt fresh, relevant, and exciting. Social media is becoming an increasingly important part of their lives and culture, and the curriculum thoughtfully addresses it.

Macsen Romano, School Counselor

We can’t always bring people from the outside on the issues students are facing right now. So this book was very helpful. Students loved the interaction they have with each other and thinking deeply about their device use.

Felae Walker, School Counselor

The activities in this program have been engaging, fun and enlightening to witness students making sense of their social media usage and identity including myself.
