The Heroes During The Hardship

Literacy Leaders

Our literacy leaders post normally recognizes an individual – sometimes a teacher, sometimes a non-profit leader or influencer. But we are in extraordinary times right now. As a result, we’ve had the privilege to work along-side some pretty amazing leaders in Cincinnati that are tirelessly working to solve the care and educational challenges in the current reality.

We’ve been able to witness first-hand, local non-profit leaders in the childcare and education space collaborate and mobilize to solve problems, with their goal focused on feeding, caring for and educating all of the children and families that are suffering increased hardship from this pandemic. We’ve been nothing but impressed with the willingness to collaborate, solve hard problems and work together to help those most in need.

We salute them and admire their work, commitment and dedication greatly. You are our HEROES. Thank you for your leadership!
