The Future of Digital Wellness Starts with Student Leadership

Young people aren’t just impacted by the digital world—they shape it. They are the first generation to grow up with smartphones in

their pockets, navigating the pressure of notifications, the pull of endless scrolling, and the mental health challenges that can come with it.

And yet, despite being the ones most affected by digital overload, students rarely have a seat at the table when it comes to shaping solutions. It’s time to change that.

We at JOMO (campus) have established a JOMO Youth Advisory Council—a student-driven movement to rethink digital habits, promote real-life connections, and make intentional tech use the norm in schools across North America.

It’s a team of students working alongside JOMO leadership to spark real change in how young people engage with technology within their schools.

What Do Council Members Do?

  • Advising JOMO on Student Needs – Share insights on digital engagement, challenges, and effective solutions.

  • Co-Designing Digital Well-Being Challenges – Help shape JOMO(campus)’s digital wellness initiatives, school events, and engagement strategies.

  • Leading Student Outreach – Encourage peers to participate in JOMO programs and share their experiences.

  • Representing JOMO at School Events – Advocate for healthier digital habits through assemblies, posters, and discussions at their school.

Each council is made up of 8 to 12 students who commit to this work for a full academic year, leading initiatives that promote healthier tech habits and meaningful connections in their school communities.
