With much gratitude to our Founding CAPTION.COOL Literacy Champions - please CLICK on their images to meet them!
As the #captionsON campaign grows, we are building a community of 100 Founding C.C Literacy Champions, all literacy advocates from all walks of life who love our mandate and have pitched in to help spread the word or helped in any other way they wish. Our first CAPTION.COOL Literacy Champions are from the University of Dayton IACT Micro-Internship Program led by creativity experts Brian LaDuca, Founder and Executive Director, and Adrienne Ausdenmoore, Director. The interns created a social media campaign plan as well as further developed our empathy-based diversity theme. Please see Brian's quote below:

“The opportunity for a multi-disciplinary cohort of university students, who range from engineering to education, to work on such an innovative and needed literacy concept was awesome,” said LaDuca “Not only did CAPTION.COOL challenges their areas of study but their lived experiences were equally valued giving them an empowered relationship with the growing need for progressive new approaches to reading and comprehension.”
