Description

Freedom Schools program enhances children’s motivation to read and makes them feel good about learning. At the same time, the program connects families to the right resources in their communities. Freedom School students engage in a research-based, multicultural Integrated Reading Curriculum that supports them and their families through five essential components:


1 High quality academic enrichment

2 Parent and family development

3 Civic engagement and social action

4 Intergenerational servant leadership

development

5 Nutrition, health and mental health


Students will receive one nutritious meal and a snack daily, as well as a book each week to build their home libraries.

We believe in an intergenerational leadership model. That’s why our program is staffed primarily by college students and recent college graduates, with a 10:1 child to adult ratio. As a result, many children and youth make significant gains in reading achievement and don’t experience any summer learning loss and get support on their academic enrichment all year long
