Robinhood - Social

Financial Education for Everyone

Robinhood is committed to providing our customers with financial education across their investing journey. We start by offering in-app financial lessons focused on financial markets basics to all new customers and then provide ongoing education through a variety of channels. Robinhood's educational experience is designed to make it easier for customers to access the information they need to make better-informed decisions.

In-app education

Launched in April 2021, our in-app education modules put learning the basics of investing at our customers' fingertips.

Robinhood Learn

In 2022, we had approximately 4 million web page views of our digital educational content through Robinhood Learn, an online collection of beginners' guides, feature tutorials, and an extensive financial dictionary available to the public.

Newsfeeds

In 2022, 18 million in-app users used newsfeeds to access free, premium financial news.

Community Engagement

At Robinhood, we demonstrate our commitment to democratizing finance for all through meaningful community engagement and innovative social impact with a diverse spectrum of mission-aligned people and organizations.

Opportunity Crypto

We created this program to deliver free, in-person crypto education workshops that present a holistic educational introduction to cryptocurrency. Some of our 2022 partners for this program included Amplify Latinx, Durham Chamber of Commerce, Florida Council on Economic Education, and the National Black Empowerment Council.

Florida Council on Economic Education

Robinhood partners with the Florida Council on Economic Education to offer free trainings for thousands of teachers to help prepare Florida's young people for personal and financial success.

Industry Convener

We continue to serve as a convener for thought-leaders in the financial empowerment space by hosting roundtables with leadership from the National Bankers Association Foundation, the National Association of Securities Professionals, Operation HOPE, and the World Economic Forum. In 2022, we participated in discussions to promote financial access and inclusion with a number of our partners, including: The National Bankers Association's Annual Conference, the Memorial Foundation's signature Wreath Laying Event on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, and at an event hosted by FitMoney alongside NFL Player and Financial Educator Brandon Copeland.

Robinhood Money Drills

Robinhood Markets Money Drills is a financial education program for student athletes that aims to close the knowledge gap for this community as they navigate between scholarships, sponsorships, stipends, and the recent Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) rule changes. By providing resources and support to universities, Money Drills empowers athletes to learn the fundamentals of financial management while still in school. Money Drills partnerships include West Virginia University, Kansas State University, and the University of Memphis.

"Every student has a different path and financial variables to navigate, and we are building out new opportunities to engage everyone on that journey in new ways. We are so grateful for the new partnership with Robinhood as we embark on a big goal of equipping every K-State student with financial competencies and life skills - whether it's support when creating a college budget plan, making decisions about loans and repayments, or understanding compensation and benefits with job offers."

Kathleen Hatch, Morrison Family Associate Vice President Student Well-being at Kansas State University

Inclusion, Equity & Belonging

At Robinhood, we strive to create a community where everyone feels valued and embrace the differences that enable us to foster a high performance culture that serves the needs of our diverse customer base. We believe a more diverse and inclusive culture will help us achieve that outcome.

Our career development programs are designed to ensure that everyone has access to opportunities, resources, and support to achieve their professional goals regardless of their background, identity, or socio-economic status.
