Everfi

Since 2019, the Brian Dawkins Impact Foundation and Everfi have worked together to bring the Cerebral Wellness Program into schools, helping students build confidence, resilience, and healthy coping strategies that extend far beyond the classroom. To date, the program has reached more than 6,200 students, equating to over 5,500 hours of learning focused on mental wellness and personal growth. During the 2024-25 school year alone, students showed a 22-point increase in Cerebral Wellness Assessment scores, rising from 64% to 86%. Following the course, 80% of students shared they are more likely to deal with stress in a positive way. This is the power of education, partnership, and investing in the next generation. Thank you to Everfi, our educators, and the students who continue to inspire this work every day. #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth #WellnessWednesday #MentalWellness #YouthEmpowerment #CommunityImpact

Not all mental health starts with a challenge. Sometimes, it starts with a choice. And for many students, those choices come with real pressure. That’s why Everfi and @sgwinespirts are equipping students with the knowledge and confidence to make smart, responsible decisions around alcohol. The “Alcohol Education: Safe and Smart” course equips all students—regardless of their current drinking habits or intentions—with practical skills to navigate real-life situations around drinking. Since 2016, Southern Glazer’s has impacted 59,000 students in nearly 350 schools. Because mental health is built through the choices we’re prepared to make. ⭐️

Nearly 1 million students didn’t just learn about mental health this year - they learned how to handle it. 🧠 During Mental Health Awareness Month, that’s the shift that matters. Because student mental health challenges don’t show up overnight, they build over time. And in classrooms across the country, that reality is being met with something better than reaction: preparation. Students are learning how to manage stress before it becomes overwhelming. How to make healthier decisions in real time. How to recognize when they need support and actually ask for it. This is what prevention looks like in practice. Through partnerships with school districts and leading organizations, Everfi is helping bring mental wellness education into everyday learning so support reaches students earlier, more consistently, and at scale. Because awareness is important but giving students the tools to navigate real life is what changes outcomes. 🩵

What happens when students get direct access to the people shaping our nation’s financial system? 🏦   To close out Financial Literacy Month, Everfi hosted a student event at Jackson-Reed High School in Washington, DC, alongside leaders from the U.S. Department of the Treasury.   Students engaged in candid, small-group conversations about their financial goals, the pressures influencing their decisions, and how today’s choices connect to their future careers and financial stability. Treasury officials shared their own experiences and career paths, helping bring those lessons to life in a meaningful way.   This is what it looks like when financial education goes beyond the classroom. Thank you to the Treasury team, Jackson-Reed educators, and the students who showed up ready to engage.

This is what closing the financial gap looks like. 🤝 @ornlfcu wanted to expand access to financial education for students across 19 counties—many in rural and underserved communities—without increasing internal strain. Everfi helped ORNL FCU shift from in-person, resource-heavy delivery to a scalable, school-based model. The result: 📈 Student reach grew from hundreds to thousands 🏫 27 schools activated across their footprint 📊 Consistent, measurable learning outcomes across communities More importantly, they didn’t just expand access, they became a trusted education partner in their region.

The NFL Foundation touched down in Steeler Nation 💫 In partnership with EVERFI, GENYOUth, and the Steelers Community, the NFL Foundation hosted a Draft Week Character Playbook Speaker Series x NFL FLAG‑In‑School PLAY 60 Champions Event at Duquesne Middle School in Pittsburgh, PA.   The day kicked off with a @genyouthnow nutrition segment supported by NFL veteran Charlie Batch @charliebatch16 , highlighting how proper nutrition fuels physical activity and mental wellness. Students then joined a live panel on the connection between mental wellness and physical activity, featuring host Hayley Elwood @hayleyelwood and panelists Dr. Nyaka Niilampti, NFL veteran Arthur Moats @dabody52 , and Action for Healthy Kids @act4healthykids Chief Program Officer Lesley Graham. The event concluded with interactive breakout sessions and a skills and drills clinic focused on movement, mindfulness, and healthy habits. Special thanks to @sonyelectronics (the official headphone provider of the NFL) for gifting every student a pair of LinkBuds to keep the momentum going 🎧✨ #NFLFoundation #CharacterPlaybook #NFLFlag #NFLDraft

Where you live may determine how prepared you are to manage money. 💵 New data shows a massive state-by-state gap in financial readiness: 📍 Top states: ~43% of students feel prepared 📍 Bottom states: ~63% feel unprepared Even more telling: Banking access and financial confidence don’t always align. We’re not just facing a national gap. We’re facing a geographic inequality in financial education. The question: Are we preparing students everywhere, or just in certain zip codes?

What happens when you mix financial literacy with a little competition and real-world advice? You get a morning students won’t forget. Everfi teamed up with the New Jersey Devils and Wiss at New Milford High School to celebrate Financial Literacy Month with an interactive, high-energy event designed to make money management real. From Financial Jeopardy, a panel featuring finance and accounting professionals, to a hands-on gallery walk, students didn’t just learn, they participated, asked questions, and connected financial concepts to their own lives. Thank you to the New Jersey Devils and Wiss for helping bring these experiences to life and for investing in the future of New Jersey students. This is how we turn financial education into action. 🤝⭐️

They have the payment and investing apps. 📱 They have the bank accounts and credit cards. 💳 They don’t feel confident or prepared to use them. 😕 160,000+ high school students told us the same thing: access is growing faster than confidence and they want financial education now.

When financial education goes beyond the classroom, students start to see what’s possible. ⭐️ Recently we partnered with @penfed Credit Union to bring that experience to life for more than 50 seniors in Humacao, Puerto Rico. After completing Tu Dinero, Tu Sueño (“Your Money, Your Dreams”), students from Anita Otero Hernández Specialized School of Fine Arts stepped into a real-world learning moment, connecting directly with PenFed leaders through a dynamic speed networking session. They asked questions, explored career paths, and made the connection between what they’ve learned and the financial decisions ahead. Two students received scholarships in recognition of their dedication and achievement in the program. This is what impact looks like: ✔️ 7+ years of partnership with PenFed ✔️ 5,000+ students reached ✔️ 46 schools across Puerto Rico This event marked our first in Humacao and an exciting step forward as we continue expanding access to financial education across the island. We’re proud to work alongside partners like PenFed who are helping turn financial knowledge into real opportunity for the next generation. 💫

Today’s teens are entering the world of investing earlier than ever through apps, social platforms, and new financial tools designed to make participation easy. But ease of access isn’t the same as understanding risk, strategy, or long-term growth. 📊 Nearly 7 in 10 students say investing feels intimidating 📉 Just 12% feel confident explaining how the stock market works If we want the next generation to build real financial futures, investing education has to come first.
