About This Cause

Freedom Schools are summer opportunities that build children’s literacy and social-emotional skills and serve children who most need and can least afford summer learning opportunities. Evidence shows that, by the end of third grade, lower income children are typically 2 to 3 years behind in reading and math, due in large part to summer learning loss. To combat that loss, Freedom School Partners (FSP) ensures that our most vulnerable children have access to a rich summer learning experience in which they maintain or gain reading ability. Led by college student interns, Freedom Schools strengthen children’s literacy skills, develop social-emotional skills they need to make good decisions and connect children to a broader community that believes in and advocates for them. In addition, FSP engages parents as partners to support scholars' success during the unique six-week program.
