Fund IRL NH
Turn social media accountability into opportunity
Fund IRL New Hampshire is part of a national coalition working to ensure any payouts from social media lawsuits help fund programs and services that promote youth well-being and healthy development. “In real life” (IRL) opportunities—ones where young people build skills, make friends, and grow—are a powerful antidote to the harms of social media.
Young people who spend the most time on social media experience negative impacts on mental health. Social media lawsuit payouts should fund young people’s well-being and close opportunity gaps.
Payouts should support:
-
Money recovered because young people were harmed should make a meaningful difference in young people’s lives.
-
Settlement funds intended to address youth harms can support mental health, afterschool and summer programs, mentoring, sports, arts, outdoor experiences and other opportunities that help young people connect, belong and thrive.
-
Young people, families and community organizations should have a meaningful voice in how youth-focused investments are shaped.
