Beyond Bedtime is committed to building a culturally diverse team and strongly encourages qualified candidates from all backgrounds to apply. About the Organization Beyond Bedtime, formerly Pajama Program, is a national nonprofit that helps children discover and experience the superpower of sleep, so they can wake up ready to thrive. Sleep is essential to every child's well-being, yet challenges like disruptive environments, inconsistent schedules, and limited resources often stand between children and the deep, restorative sleep they need. For 25 years, we’ve provided new pajamas, storybooks, and sleep health education to children facing adversity—reaching more than 9 million children across the U.S. Through partnerships with schools, shelters, and community programs, we combine the comfort of cozy pajamas, the magic of storybooks, and evidence-based sleep health education to support families in creating healthy bedtime routines.
