MAXIMIZE YOUR PCCD GRANT

Pennsylvania school leaders—did you know you can modify your Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD) grant to fund the Yondr Phone-Free Schools Program?

OUR LEADING APPROACH

At Yondr, we believe the pouch is just one piece of the puzzle. The Yondr Phone-Free Schools Program is a bell-to-bell phone-free approach empowering educators to restore focus and foster meaningful connection among students wherever they learn and gather.

Based on 10+ years experience working with thousands of educators around the world, Yondr’s complete program delivers what works:

  • Clear, customized policy development to support consistent, school-wide implementation

  • Built-in training and onboarding for staff, students, and parents

  • Secure, durable pouches designed for daily use that let students keep phones—without the distractions

  • Fast, reliable unlocking infrastructure to support smooth operations

  • Ongoing strategic support to guarantee long-term success

Our unique, lockable pouch means students keep their phones, but cannot access them during the school day. Teachers no longer have to be the phone police, and pupils get a much needed 6-8 hour break from digital distractions.
