Michael Nelson traded the training pitch for the classroom on Thursday when he joined a select group of students from Edison Middle School as part of EverFi’s Actions Matter bullying-prevention program.
MLS WORKS partnered with EverFi in March and the program is available to more than 700 students across seven schools in Houston. Edison was one of the charter schools to activate the program and chose to reward students that finished all the modules with a surprise visit from the Dynamo goalkeeper. Nelson joined students for an overview of the final program module and spent the afternoon reflecting on his experience as a professional athlete.
