Switching sports for the day đââď¸
Throwing out todayâs ceremonial first pitch is defensive tackle for the Jacksonville Jaguars, Arik Armstead!
NFL checks donât come with instructions. đ¸
And honestly? Neither do most paychecks.
You can make money and still not know how to manage it. That is not a character flaw, that is a lack of access to financial education.

Back in Sac to kick off @armsteadacademicproject Thrive Schools at Dyer-Kelly Elementary!
Spent the day with 130+ students reading and learning. Weâre making a 5 year commitment investing $100k per school into three Title I schools across the nation to build âeducational Blue Zonesâ that support the academic, social, and emotional well-being of students and educators.
A look back at a powerful moment at our Clanzel Club.
NFL veteran Arik Armstead recently stopped by to sit down with our Club members for an interview on their student-led podcast, Whatâs Up Duval. Our youth led the entire conversation as hosts, producers, and storytellers, asking thoughtful questions and engaging directly with a pro athlete whoâs made just as much impact off the field as on it.
This is what the Club Experience is all about. Real-world opportunities that build confidence, sharpen communication, and connect our members with role models who show them whatâs possible. Moments like these expose our youth to new career pathways, reinforce the value of preparation and leadership, and remind them that their voice matters.
Huge thanks to Arik for investing his time in our students and helping create a memory theyâll carry with them.

A powerful moment at our Clanzel Club đď¸
NFL star Arik Armstead sat down with our members on their student-led podcast, Whatâs Up Duval, and our youth ran the entire show. They asked the questions, led the conversation, and held their own across from a pro athlete whoâs built success on and off the field.
This was youth voice in action. Our members werenât just participants. They were the hosts, producers, and storytellers.
Huge thank you to Arik for investing in our kids. đ

"We are all human. We all make mistakes."
@arikarmstead stopped by CafĂŠ Momentum Atlanta a few months ago for a real conversation with our interns, with Chad and with all of us. They talked about dreaming, about second chances, about what it means to show up for young people the way they deserve.
Every young person who walks through our doors has something amazing to offer. We're just here to make sure the world knows it.
Watch the full discussion at the link in our bio!
Grateful to partner with @torani in San Francisco for a powerful conversation on perseverance and purpose.
At the Chase Center, @arikarmstead shared an inspiring message on resilience, leadership, and pushing through adversityâleaving a lasting impact on the entire Torani team.
What stood out most was his openness and deep commitment to creating more opportunities for young people.
Thank you for hosting us, Torani!
