Screen-Free Week Outreach Coordinator

Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood (CCFC) educates the public about commercialism’s impact on kids’ wellbeing and advocates for the end of child-targeted marketing. Our work routinely makes headlines around the world, most recently for campaigns holding Facebook and Google accountable for their data collection practices. Our advocacy has led corporations such as Mattel, Disney, and Nickelodeon to change their marketing practices. We are also the home of the Children’s Screen Time Action Network, a collaborative group of family professionals and practitioners working to reduce kids’ screen time.  Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood (CCFC) is a fiscally sponsored project of TSNE MissionWorks.

Screen-Free Week is an annual celebration that takes place the first week of May in homes, schools, and communities throughout the world. Participants pledge to spend a week without entertainment screens and instead enjoy offline time with family and friends – reading, playing, exploring, gardening, hiking, crafting, cooking, and more. In 2019, over 150,000 individuals celebrated, and we anticipate more in 2020.

The Screen-Free Week Outreach Coordinator, is a part-time, temporary position, which will create more awareness for this growing global celebration in 2020. The Outreach Coordinator will report to the Screen Time Program Manager of Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood (host of Screen-Free Week), and can be based at CCFC headquarters in Boston, MA or based remotely. The Outreach Coordinator is expected to work 15 hours a week, beginning in early January 2020 and continuing through at least May 29, 2020.
