What does a future in accounting look like? 📊

Students from Miami Edison High School recently stepped inside KPMG’s Miami office for a day of career exploration, networking, and hands-on professional development.

Through the Center for Audit Quality Accounting+ initiative, students connected with accounting professionals, learned about diverse career pathways within the industry, practiced building their personal elevator pitches, and gained valuable insights into the skills and experiences that can help shape their future careers. One student received a $5,000 scholarship.

Experiences like these help bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world opportunities, giving students the confidence, connections, and career exposure they need to imagine what’s possible.

Many of life’s biggest financial decisions begin long before adulthood. The earlier people build financial knowledge and confidence, the better prepared they are for what’s ahead.

Some of our earliest money habits come from lessons we were taught at home. Others come from lessons we learned through experience.

When schools, communities, and organizations come together, students win. 👏

Thank you to Platte County R-3 School District and The Kansas City Chiefs for creating such a meaningful experience focused on student mental wellness and healthy coping strategies.

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.

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. 🤝⭐️
