More IRL than URL
A key goal of Kids IRL is to encourage play, independence, and meaningful community connections.
In today’s digital world, our hope as a community is for young people to grow and thrive IRL (in real life), cultivating their own senses of wonder and connectedness to nature, people, and the world around them.
Got younger kids? Find resources that encourage play, grow independence, and increase IRL connections.
Got older kids and teens? Find local adventures across Marin to help nudge our older youth out the door to enjoy IRL fun and connections in this beautiful and vibrant place we call home.
Kids IRL (in real life) is a Marin County-wide coordinated effort to keep digital tech in check and roll it out more slowly to our children - so screens don’t crowd out essential childhood activities. By changing local norms together, we reduce pressure on parents and kids, protect our children’s mental health, and improve family life.
