Helping students look up.
Heads Up is a student-led movement for digital balance. We started in one dining hall and a single club — now we run clubs, mentorship, and campaigns across the country, built entirely by the people Big Tech is trying hardest to keep scrolling.

The things students ask first.
Who can start a Heads Up club?

Any high school student in the U.S. You don't need to be a club president or have run anything before — just a willingness to host a first meeting. We pair every new chapter with a student mentor.

I can't think of any activities to do with my club?

The Heads Up team has prepared a toolkit of activities that you can use when you feel stuck. You also can set up a meeting with our Communications team to discuss options!

How to participate?

Any high school student in the U.S. You don't need to be a club president or have run anything before — just a willingness to host a first meeting. We pair every new chapter with a student mentor.

How many people should I have on my club's board?

Heads Up requires you to have at least 2 members on the board: President and Vice President. You can always add more positions as you see fit!
