The Children’s Defense Fund (CDF) Freedom Schools® program is a free six-week long summer enrichment program with three hours of reading per day. The program helps children, we call them “scholars”, fall in love with reading, increases their self-esteem, cultivates positive attitudes toward learning, and reduces summer reading loss—one of the major challenges affecting the working-class’ children. The research-based curriculum includes culturally responsive books that reflect the scholars’ own images and caring and supportive college students that serve as Servant Leader Interns (teachers). CDF Freedom Schools successfully address summer reading loss and a related decrease in students’ motivation to read.
There will be three (3) CDF Freedom Schools in Birmingham this summer. You can help us reach more students and provide more paid summer internships for college students.
