Founded in 2021 by former NFL player and Texas State Representative Scott Turner, the Community Engagement & Opportunity Council (CEOC) addresses declining reading proficiency nationwide. Turner, who previously led the White House Opportunity and Revitalization Council, started CEOC with his wife Robin to support vulnerable youth through literacy initiatives.

Motivated by the positive impact, Turner developed a scalable, faith-based program to improve literacy for underserved children across the country.
