What’s involved in becoming a Chapter Leader?
First, find out if there is a Chapter in your area by visiting the MAMA Map. If there isn’t a Chapter in your area, fill out the form to Start a Chapter. If we are expanding in your area, we will be in touch with you about upcoming information sessions.
At the one-hour information session (held online), you’ll learn everything you need to know about what the role entails.

What is the Expert Insights Series?
MAMA’s Expert Insights Series features conversations (held online) between our founder Julie Scelfo and influential thinkers on topics ranging from media addiction and the effects of digital technology on child development, to the important role of offscreen time and what parents, educators, and legislators can do to keep our kids safe and healthy. Past speakers include Jonathan Haidt; Meta whistleblowers Yaël Eisenstat and Arturo Béja; Laura Marquez-Garrett, an attorney with the Social Media Victims Law Center; and Lenore Skenazy of Let Grow, among others.

Is MAMA global? What is the best way to fight against media addiction in other countries?
Currently MAMA only operates in the United States, although we have received requests to start MAMA Chapters from every continent except Antarctica! We are focused on the U.S. as it’s the home of many Big Tech companies. We look forward to expanding globally once we have the capacity.
How can I request someone from MAMA to come speak at my school?
Thank you for your interest in bringing a MAMA Ambassador to your school. If you’d like to explore a potential visit, we’d love to hear more about your goals and what you have in mind. Send us a few details and we will be in touch.
How can I get involved with MAMA?
There are many ways to get involved! The first step would be to join a chapter in your area. You can see where MAMA has chapters in the U.S. here. If you don’t see a chapter in your community, consider applying to be a Chapter Leader so you can help grow our movement in your town.
