NEW YORK SCHOOLS

GO PHONE-FREE

Yondr has been helping students thrive, distraction-free, for over a decade. One-third of New York public secondary schools have already unplugged and are reaping the benefits of phone-free learning with Yondr.

OUR LEADING APPROACH

At Yondr, we believe the pouch is just one piece of the puzzle. The Yondr Phone-Free Schools Program includes a suite of resources designed to ensure a seamless transition, based on 10+ years experience working with thousands of educators around the world.

Our leading approach empowers schools:

  • Policy Consultation and Development

  • Operational Planning and Equipment

  • Training and Ongoing Support

Our unique, lockable pouch means students keep their phones, but cannot access them during the school day. Teachers no longer have to be the phone police, and pupils get a much needed 6-8 hour break from digital distractions.
