WHO IS YOUR LIFECHANGER?

We all know teachers and school district employees who inspire us and go above and beyond for their students. They could be a physical education teacher who started a nonprofit to teach students about art and music, an administrator who visits the homes of students in need, or a maintenance worker who fundraises for school programs. These educators and school employees are LifeChangers; we're here to help you honor them.

National Life Group's LifeChanger of the Year is an annual program recognizing K-12 educators and school employees nationwide. Our program celebrates those making a significant difference in students' lives by exemplifying excellence, positive influence, and leadership.

LifeChanger of the Year is sponsored and run by National Life Group, a more than 175-year-old financial services company that serves K-12 educators nationwide. National Life and its distribution partners have been helping school employees retire with dignity for decades. Seeing the work that our nation’s school employees do, the passion behind it, and its lasting outcome inspires us. We created the LifeChanger of the Year program to shine a light on the field of education, celebrate school employees, and provide them with the resources they need to succeed while they’re in the classroom and beyond.

National Life Group’s charitable arm, the National Life Group Foundation, provides cash prizes for the LifeChanger of the Year program. Since its inception in 2006, the goal of the National Life Group Foundation has been to build solid connections and do good in the communities in which we live and work. We do this in several ways, such as providing grants to nonprofit and educational organizations, giving our employees 40 hours of paid volunteer time annually, sponsoring events, and offering in-kind donations. We also support mental health and wellness programs for K-12 students and school employees.
