Active Character Playbook schools are able to participate in an essay contest facilitated by EverFi. Students are instructed to choose one of three prompts that require reflection and further exploration into the concepts covered in the course. Submissions are reviewed by EverFi, the local United Way and the local NFL team, and selected winners and their teachers are awarded a predetermined prize.
