The D.O.C.I.E. Code

A Literacy & Leadership Framework for the Children of Austin, Garfield Park, and North Lawndale

Every order of 25+ shirts qualifies for a free D.O.C.I.E. Code author reading — a $200 value. We visit your center, read to your students, and leave every child a Rising Stars D.O.C.I.E. sticker. Named in honor of our founder's mother Docie, the code stands for Discipline, Ownership, Courage, Integrity, and Empowerment.
