Players from the Wests Tigers will do the rounds of schools in the Port Macquarie and Camden Haven region.
One of the better up-and-coming players of the competition, Curtis Sironen, will join the likes of James Tedesco, Tim Moltzen, Keith Galloway and former hard man John Skandalis.
It is a part of the 15th annual Community Carnival.
The carnival sees players from every club visit local and regional communities across Australia and New Zealand throughout the month.
The community message of this year's event is "Wellbeing", focusing on everything from nutrition and healthy eating, to regular exercise and mental health.
Over the four weeks of Community Carnival (February 2-February 27), NRL players are expected to reach a staggering 250,000 kids across 300 towns and 900 schools, and deliver 80 junior league clinics.
Players will be armed with teaching resources acknowledged by the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA), which demonstrate how important nutrition, physical activity and mental health is to overall wellbeing.
