Life beyond likes

Social media rewired a generation. This reverses it.

Students at Burley High and Burley Junior High give up social media until the start of their senior year. The Goode Foundation pays them for it. Parents and students confirm together, four times a year.

How it works

Sign up

Enroll online, or in person at Goode Motor Ford.

Choose your phone

Your own phone locked down, a kid-safe smartphone, a flip phone, or no phone at all. See the options.

Stay off social media

No social media anywhere. Phone, laptop, school device, tablet, console, a friend's screen. Anywhere means anywhere.

Earn your reward

Complete the challenge and receive your award at the start of your senior year.

What students gain

With fewer distractions, more time to concentrate on studies and academic goals.

More quality time with friends and family, without the constant pull of social media.

Studies have shown that reducing social media use can lead to better mental health, improved self-esteem, and lower stress levels.

Time to develop new hobbies, pursue passions, and discover real potential.

How to enroll

Both the student and a parent or guardian complete the form together and agree to the terms.

Keeping your own phone

To keep an iPhone or Android, a parent attends one setup class where we show them exactly how to lock it down. The whole walkthrough is on this site, so you can work through it beforehand or follow along at home.
