What it reported doing in 2024

The Brian Dawkins Impact Foundation exists to provide inspiration, education, and resources that create transformative moments in the lives of youth through programming that nourishes their mind, strengthens their body, and nurtures their spirit.Brian Dawkins Values Program: The Values Program focuses on mental wellness and financial literacy for middle and high school students. Our Owning Your Cerebral Wellness component helps students understand their mental health, recognize challenges they face, and learn practical ways to handle those challenges. Students also gain the skills to identify and support friends who might be struggling.The Financial Literacy portion teaches students how to make smart money decisions that will benefit them throughout their lives. The program has reached over 5,995 students across 48 schools in Philadelphia and Jacksonville, with 3,860 students completing the Financial Literacy component in 27 schools.Brian Dawkins Single Parent Families Program: This program provides direct financial support to low-income single parents in Philadelphia and Jacksonville. We give grants that help parents access opportunities and programs for their children that they might not otherwise be able to afford. The program recognizes that helping a child means supporting their whole family situation.Brian Dawkins Pre-Apprenticeship Program: This program connects economically disadvantaged young people with real work experience in fields theyre interested in. Participants get paid while learning about different careers through apprenticeships and internships with corporate and university partners. The focus is on youth who have talent and drive but may not have had access to these kinds of professional opportunities before.Brian Dawkins Mindset to Thrive Program: Our program in Camden serves middle and high school students from low and moderate-income families. Students explore different career paths while participating in activities that build their confidence and mental strength. The program helps students see whats possible for their futures and gives them tools to work toward their goals.Brian Dawkins Young Ambassadors Program: The Young Ambassadors Program develops leadership skills in high school students who have completed our Cerebral Wellness course. Students learn communication, accountability, and leadership abilities while exploring Brians A.R.E.A. of control philosophy. Ambassadors participate in breakout sessions where they share their personal stories and goals with peers, host foundation events at their schools, and volunteer at community activities. The program includes mentoring support and maintains an alumni network that provides ongoing resources, references, and opportunities for former participants.
