Community Day of Service
Today at Kings Road School, students had the exciting opportunity to learn about the important work of Seeing Eye dogs, including meeting dogs currently in training. We also welcomed student volunteers from Madison High School, who joined us for the Community Day of Service to assist with various projects around the school. We’re grateful for their time, energy, and support!
Anxious Generation - Final Book Club Discussion for the 24-25 School Year
Time Change - Now 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM
Part 4 – Collective Action for Healthier Childhood
Thursday, June 5, 2025 | 6:00–7:00 PM | Zoom
As our Anxious Generation book study comes to a close, we invite you to join us for a powerful and solution-focused final session. We’ll explore the final chapters—Preparing for Collective Action, What Governments and Tech Companies Can Do Now, and the hopeful Conclusion: Bring Childhood Back to Earth.
This is the moment where awareness becomes action.
We’ve spent the past few months learning about the roots of rising anxiety and disconnection among today’s youth. Now, it's time to ask: What can we do—together—to build a healthier path forward for our children?
In this session, we will:
Reflect on the kinds of community actions that can make an impact
Discuss the roles of tech companies and government in protecting childhood
Share ideas for practical steps families, schools, and communities can take
Leave with a renewed sense of hope and purpose
Whether you’ve attended every session or are just joining in, this final discussion is designed to energize and empower us all. Don’t miss the opportunity to be part of a growing movement to reshape childhood for the better.
✅ All are welcome.
