24 NCCF Freedom Schools After School Program

`

Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu Ages: 5 to 13

Description

Join us for an immersive experience with NCCF’s Freedom Schools, a transformative program dedicated to increasing literacy skills among scholars in vulnerable communities. In partnership with the Children’s Defense Fund, NCCF matches college students aspiring to be teachers with students K-12.


NCCF’s Freedom Schools have sites all across the District of Columbia through after-school programming along with providing six-week summer camps. Freedom Schools have served youth at the Kennedy Short-term Family Housing Program, the Sterling Short-term Family Housing Program, the New York Avenue Family Shelters, and at the former DC General Family Shelter (the site of the first Freedom School in a homeless family shelter in the nation). Over the last three years, the Freedom School team has served close to 300 scholars and has engaged 25 servant leaders.


At the end of each school year and summer camp, each scholar leaves the program with their favorite books that they are able to take home and begin building their own home libraries!
