PARTICIPATE IN THE EMOTIONAL LITERACY MOVEMENT!

CEL's Emotional Literacy Program is proven to produce positive, proactive behaviors and reduce harmful ones such as violence and abuse. Let's make America safer, healthier, and smarter by creating a place for Emotional Literacy Education alongside other crucial, basic disciplines like academics, physical fitness, and financial skills.

Our goal for early 2008 is to gather at least 25,000 individual $15 donations through the website to kick off the Emotional Literacy Movement in Austin. Your pet can help support the cause, too! Please continue reading.

This funding will support the following initiatives:

A national emotional literacy awareness campaign showing a correlation between animal abuse, family violence, and criminal behaviors. Did you know that most serial killers and many of the school shooters critically harmed or killed animals before killing humans? * CEL's Education Campaign in and outside of schools, to increase emotional literacy in students and diminish destructive behaviors. Establishing temporary shelter for pets of families fleeing abusive conditions and for pets of elderly people who can no longer care for them due to long term hospitalization. Help us reach our goal by making a donation of $15 or more today.

Together we can re-vitalize our society!

YOUR PET CAN HELP SUPPORT THE CAUSE, TOO!

Each person who gives $15 or more will receive a limited edition pet bandanna which their furry friend can wear to help spread the word about Emotional Literacy.

Send us a photo of your pet wearing their bandanna, and we'll add it to our upcoming community gallery. Let's see which cities and states walk the Emotional Literacy Trail!
