This fall, students at CSU East Bay launched the first-ever college-based Ever Forward Club, bringing the #MillionMaskMovement to campus. Led by two former EFC interns, the club is building powerful partnerships, hosting mask-making events, and creating space for real connection and belonging.
Ever Forward Club joined Northeastern University Oakland’s “Taste of Oakland” to welcome 750+ first-year students. Through the #MillionMaskMovement, we sparked reflection, connection, and community, planting seeds for vulnerability and belonging from day one.
Ever Forward Club brought mask-making workshops to Ross, Madrone, and Island High—engaging students, staff, and families. With assemblies, PD sessions, and emotional breakthroughs, these schools are embracing connection, courage, and whole-school transformation.
