The Comics Appreciation Project (CAP) is a 501c3 nonprofit promoting the use of graphic novels to enhance reading comprehension, engagement, empathy, self-perception (as readers), and a genuine joy of reading for all young people. CAP provides various resources to Title I schools, while also donating thousands of award-winning graphic novels each year to comfort children in medical crisis and foster care. Some stories have the power to comfort, inspire, and even process life’s challenges.
“We want to help kids discover the stories that speak to them and encourage them to find their voice so they can make their own.”
